Vibrations during CNC

I've done something similar to this, but put something solid (generally a 1-2-3 block) into the C on either side of the cut, and depending on what I'm doing either clamping the legs down to squeeze the block, or just sticking it in the vise if the fit is snug enough.

what i do is just not cut all the way leave a 64 there to hole it then just punch the part out later and file the burs off
