An interesting tip from the Diablo Valley Woodworkers: double-stick tape is an annoyance; it mushes around a bit and is hard to get off.  A method to avoid it is to use masking tape on both sides of what you want to hold, then glue the masking tape with super-glue.  Nice video at

The user, Bob Hoellwarth, says he has “ used it safely on the table saw, band saw, drill press, and router, and never plans to use double sided tape again.”
