I used a waste block tenon for a 14" x 5 /4 Mahogany platter I am just tonite finishing.
It worked fine.....it was glued on with titebond 2.
Initially I mounted the piece onto
@Nubsnstubs
Chuck Plate.....of which I purchased just for mounting my 14" piece and not losing too much
timbre from my Mahogany piece/platter.
So then I squared / flattened my piece on the
bottom ....and glued on a nice solid waste tenon.
I pushed the tailstock up to hold the newly glued
tenon. and left it set overnight......time to go to bed at that hour as it was 1am....In the morn
then i was able to reverse chuck.
then finish the inside of the platter...the tenon held fine.....oh yes I also had glue gunned the
holding screws on the cole chuck and followed
directions on cole chucks to turning speed of
max 600rpm.
I only had to remove about 3/8" from the very shallow platter....
Then I reverse mounted again onto a large Cole chuck bringing the tenon out to be removed.
So bottom is sanded and sealed as I debate
how many coats of sanding sealer i need before
i finish it off with Acks................
sorry if i rambled on and on and on and.
