David,
Thanks for the step-by-step photos. :-)
What are the black "pads" that you're using to secure and protect the tube?

David,
Those were rubber vise pads I used from my golf industry days. You can get a pair from Golfworks for $12.95. Here is a link to the product.
I've taken a knife to mine so they form to my engraving machine. I find myself using them frequently.

Thank you David.
Is there enough resistance in the rubber, to keep a part from "squirming" if a lot of pressure (drag) were introduced?

It is a fairly hard rubber. I can use full tension on my IS400 without much play. The ability of the item you are engraving to withstand a moderately strong vice clamp helps.
