If you don't have a 4th, I think you need some kind of fixture plate you can flip with reference holes or pins to reference your part.
Good luck.
If you do it on your 4th axis, I would just use double back tape to hold it down and if your finished part is round you can do that at the same time.
You can buy GOOD PARTS or you can buy CHEAP PARTS, but you can't buy GOOD CHEAP PARTS.
