I'm looking to resurface a few flywheels and am wanting to do it on my RF-45 clone mill. I don't have a rotary table so I'm planning on mounting the flywheel on some 1-2-3 blocks and fasten to the table with a stud and use some jacks on the perimiter to support the edges of the flywheel. Going to have to use both hand cranks and try to get a decent circle.
I'm debating on using either a grinding cup in a arbor or a 90* face mill to do the job. I also have to machine a step for the pressure plate. I know machine shops use a grinder and some even use a brake lathe. I have to purchase either tool so I'm wondering what would give the best results w/o a rotary table? I would think the grinding cup will cause less vibrations/chatter but I've never used a grinding stone in this fashion.
So which one is probably going to be the best route?
