It's not clear (to me at least) exactly which piece you need to hold onto, but in general, you want to disassemble the thing as much as possible before trying to machine it. Take advantage of any holes that are already in it to use for mounting screws, and secure those into a base block you can hold down to your mill bed or hold in a vise. If there are any especially weird shapes still in the way, you can use a fixturing plastic like Jett Sett to cast a rectangular block around them you can then hold onto: https://www.riogrande.com/Content/Je...mpound-VID-psd
