First.? Sorry, I didn't notice "aluminum" in the first post.? I would definitely want to do the turning and drilling/boring the center hole in the SAME setup. The forces on the part will be toward the headstock and in shear.? Cementing to the face place should require a very high force to break the shear strength. If the faceplate is a bit small, you could bolt a piece of something like 1/4" thick aluminum (or steel, or whatever) plate to it.? Round, or perhaps even square 6 or 7 inches diagonal.? Slightly recessed flathead screws to mount it to the faceplate.? Then cement your part to it and you will have more square inches cemented. You could mount to the faceplate as is and just experiment a little to see if it is strong enough. Charles E. "Chuck" Kinzer

Any flywheel will obviously have a hole in the middle, and probably a threaded hole. Drill and tap a hole first for 1/4" threaded rod (or whatever you have handy). That, plus the superglue, should hold it.? If you can't center the hole exactly without using the lathe, don't worry about it. You can always move it somewhat later on.
For more reach with the tool, here's an adjustable tool post I made years ago for my homemade QCTP.? I offset the toolpost about an inch from the Allen screws that attach it to the cross slide,? mostly for convenience.? But you could make something similar with the tool offset as much as you need to in order to move the tool back to reach the perimeter. Mike Taglieri?
