??? ??? Is it something that ya have to machine to a certain tolerance or is just something that has to be pretty close to what yer after ? If there's no tolerance needed drill a small hole in the center & put a bolt through the hole & tighten it up with a coupler nut . Then ya can put the coupler nut in the chuck & go to town . Ya can even. use this method to get it close & then remount it for the final machining? .

I have a 6" x 1" round piece of aluminum that I need to turn into a flywheel for the model engine I am building. I was thinking of using superglue to secure it to my faceplate as it obviously does not fit in any of my chucks.
Any suggestions how to hold this or should I go looking for someone with a bigger lathe.
