first you can bore the hole and then put a screw through the plate. tightn it up with a nut. then you can clamp the plate on the srew or nut. sorry for my english im from germany.
Interesting hold you have on the piece of plate. Thats probably one of those things that would have made my manufacturing teacher cringe, but at least it doesn't need to run at high speeds.
My somewhat similar project was making a flywheel for a competition out of an 8" aluminum IBM hard-dive casting. I reversed the jaws and bored a hole for an arbor, and then held the arbor in the chuck.
When I was facing it, having an 8" disk spinning 2K was pretty spectacular.
I have a four jaw now. Also I bought a new tool post that has a cut off tool holder. The shop is a lot of fun. I'm currently rearranging the garage for more room and to also make a space for the wood stove. I'm spending more and more time out there doing projects.
do you have the finished product?
