    I made a board of 18mm MDF and drilled a matrix of 8mm holes in it. The back was recessed so that M6 T-nuts (the 4 pronged furniture fixing type) could be inserted. So I could clamp down to a skimmed board (I used nylon screws so I wouldn't f**k up so many cutters) The board was fixed to the T slot plate with T-nuts at the corners.

    Yes, it's a good idea and one I intend to make but it's back to the same problem, I would not want my cutter to dig into that either
    Using cams for side clamping works well with that type of board, I've attached some dxf files I did for such cams.
