Then i put another piece of mdf on top with the same drill pattern and a oversized hole with a resting spot for bolts to attach to the table below. Then, i surfaced that board. Now i have a board that i can go into without worrying too much.
You could just put a cutoff of mdf and flatten it. Then you can mount on the smaller work surface and cut through it all day and scrap it.
You could try to cut a pocket for the work to be set into. With a Mickey ear on the corners to allow you to pick it up. Then try to tape it inside the pocket.
If the stock is thick enough, you could wedge it in to the pocket without bending the stock. But your cut through, without tape, would need tabs.
Hopefully others chime in on this too, i haven't tried acrylic yet. So having some tips from experienced people would be great.
