I use hot melt glue -- thin as required -- release with alcohol, HG peels off clean |

How small are you talking? I have run pieces under 4" in length and have thinned to about .040" through my drum sander with no issues. B |

Thanks Ken...sounds like a plan! Bri; just don't feel comfortable with small pieces....maybe as small as heel caps....I have a 10-20 Performax that I really like, but the 'hold down' bars are kinda far apart..... |

Last year I inlaid ammonite fossils into a fretboard and needed to flatten them from the back side. They were only 3/8" to 5/8" across. Double-stick taped them face down to a carrier board and it worked great. I use Scotch removable poster tape which comes in a small plastic dispenser. It's very thin and has very good stick. I get it at Ace. |

I just send it through, what's the issue? Are you worried about sniping? I have only seen that happen when talking to deep a cut so just go slow and easy. |

Performax suggests minimum stock length of 2-1/2". I would give it a try on some scrap. B |

I also used double sided tape on a backer board - releases easy with naphtha. For real little stuff I put a few sacrificial strips on either side to make sure I get a clean level cut on the small parts. |
