Improving results when two sided machining using locating pins

My process has been to secure stock however is convenient and mill two tight fitting pin bores that match the pin holes on my waste board.

I use mcmaster brass dowel pins for this so they are more robust than the wood, but soft enough for a mistake to not be a disaster. I also rather have a press fit to avoid any slop that could affect alignment later on. A free fit means clearance, which means misalignment later. So far, I’ve been able to pull the pins easily enough with pliers.

I then flip onto those first holes with pins and zero the piece X, Y, and Z for side one. During side one I mill the holes for the flip, tight as before. I flip the part onto the same pin holes in the waste board and only rezero my Z. I then mill side 2.
I’ve been able to manage 4 side milling with this method.
