Anyone got a magic way of mounting flywheel in lathe?
I would like to remove the slight pit marks from the front face of a 1.8 CVH flywheel, needs approx 5 thou taking off the two faces.
Lathe chuck is not big enough to hold the flywheel around the edge, my inside jaws will not go small enough to go in the central hole,
so wonder if anyone has another technique or a flange that would mount the flywheel on then stick in the chuck?
On another note for the same end. Lost one of the clutch dowels so turned one down from an old valve stem.
Must be more careful and stop loosing bits.

Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.

For skimming flywheels I use a dummy shaft , four tapped holes to hold the flywheel , and just skim the mounting face each time I use it .
For any major machining , I am lucky to have a lathe with a big enough four jaw chuck to hold just about any car flywheel 
Its cuz I is blond , innit

What about leaving it on the engine and start it up on the garage floor, and take the tool to the offending bit?

Think I will go for the dummy shaft idea and not the Loctite. I'll see what is left in my bar stock tomorrow.

Clairetoo's idea would be the prefferred method by most engineers given this set of circumstances.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Well , I machined part of the MDF tool for a molding I was doing at work on it - it needed to be tapered and round , so this was the easy option . To
give an idea of scale , the part is 14 inches in diameter
 
Lathe.....

Job done, must take more care where I put the holes in the mandrel but done it, just waiting for ARP bolts to arrive next week and one job down on the
Silvertop.
Just finished some injector bosses for the ongoing project.
I am having fun with the lathe today, just got to clean up!

I do.... 
Not telling how I did it though
Duratec flywheel and clutch with enough room for the saddle to clear the ring gear too.

Magnets! Giant magnets!
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.
