    How do you mount a sheet of metal for milling?

    If I have a flat sheet of aluminum or SS, how do you mount it so you can mill all the way through it to cut out sections and shapes?

    Sub plate bolted to the table ( wood, alum, plastic), then either clamp the plate to it, or if its thin, double sided tape.
