I forgot to mention to run the board at a short penetration, then
before you remove it, inspect it for any non-cuts. if the board is not
flat, there may be some rises, and some dips.  you can re-cut the dips
pretty easily.  Just erease everything else in your software and leave
the lines you want to re-cut.

A vac hold down will almost eleminate the board from flexing.
