I want to turn the back side of my flywheel (1 inch deep, 6 inch across) mounting it on a stub mandrel.
It has a 22mm bore.
I have no steel around that size, but I do have a piece of 25mm aluminium bar which could be pressed to service.
Is that a good idea? Or is it to soft?
Just to add a note, I then need to turn it round and finish off the first side so it needs to go on twice.
Thanks

If you really mean Aluminium, Iain … then yes it's probably too soft
But if [as I suspect] it's an extruded hard alloy then it could well be O.K.
… First test would be to see how cleanly it turns.
