Help hold down small parts
Hoping someone here may have a suggestion, right now I have made a small vacuum box to hold 6"x 48" pcs of wood that Im cutting out parts for a friend if I try to cut them without tabs after 12 to 16 are cut I lose vacuum and things start shifting trying to cut 25 out of the wood , I can cut with tabs but then lose quantity of parts being able to machine out of wood down to 15, I use a shop vac which supplies a great amount of hold down but as holes are exposed I lose hold down, wood using a solid sheet of Mdf top skimmed off with a 7.5 HP vain pump supply any more holding force? would appreciate all comments parts are about 9" long 3/4" at widest point.
Thanks all in advance

Thanks for the reply I have tried tape ran the length to catch all parts sometimes it worked sometimes not I am now trying the combination of tabs and a .020 onion skin so far so good hoping I can get rid of the tabs in the next step and just rely on the vacuum and onion skin , less clean up, Thanks again will let you know how i make out

Check out this video on You Tube about holding parts to your spoil board without double sided tape, clamps, screws etc. I tried it and it works really great.
