help pocketing a font

[cherokeechief79]

i have to cut this into a pc of plastic that goes in the back of a firebird.im gonna pocket it thru.im doing the bird too but the bird will be big as possible which only leaves about 3 inches to squeeze this in between the wings.im going to clamp this pc down flat and try to constrain it (hopefully it wont break on me!)ill be using a .045 endmill.this should go fine but i think there will be a problem with the center of the "e" "b" and "d"

ill try double sided tape but do any of you have any other suggestions?

No sounds like you got it covered. Double stick tap is your friend just make sure to watch how much coolant you run. The inside of the letters may have ot have a smaller endmill if the .045 will not fit, but without having a model or something beside your pictures I would say you are good to go.

Magnetic holddowns would also help, but you'll need a magnetic chuck to use them.
