I simply use temp. spray adhesive, followed by covering the top (and sides with a bit of the bottom if stack cutting non-intricate things) with clear packing tape.  I use LED lighting and the glare is nothing to really worry about.  It is important not to put the tape on the bottom as I learned the hard way.  On time-intensive patterns you will start to get residue on the table by the blade, as well as little bits of tape, and these can cause your work to "snag".  I just give the tape a bit of snugging and really don't have issues with dust getting under there.  When done, 10-15 seconds under a heat gun at close range and the pattern is off. 

I noticed others commenting on what they do with pilot hole tearout.  Since it is generally in the waste area with a bit of room to spare, I just run a little hand planer over the back of the piece before cutting.

I only ever use packing tape when I am stack cutting, I put it around the edge. Otherwise I just wood, blunt tape and then pattern.

When Marge reads that, you may gain an entirely new understanding of "Reach out the Touch Someone"

To be blunt ( :D), I go with blue tape, spray glued pattern, clear packing tape, and enjoy.

I use a varity of tape. I use blue painters tape for hardwood since will peel of a little easier. Frog tape(green) for most projects. I then spray my pattern and taped board and let them set for a few minutes before joining them. I then put the packing tape on top and drill my holes. After that I then take emery paper an deglaze the packing tape. Works great! no glare  8)  8)
