Another detail- When chucking a face grain piece, align the grain with the centerline gap between chuck jaws, or with centerline through centers of opposite jaws. It's a small thing, but helps the wood respond equally in all four directions from pressure of the jaws. Actually has more to do with centering than wobble. Never mind.

Cut the largest circle of flat MDF that your lathe will swing (inboard or out). Mark centre.
Clamp your screw centre into the chuck.
Drill centre of MD disk to take screw.
Attach disk firmly to chuck with screw.
Rotate disk by hand using headstock hand wheel while holding a pencil or similar to the face of the disk closest to the edge. Steady pencil on toolrest.
If the disk does not run close to true the problem is somewhere in your equipment, most likely with your chuck and/or thread insert. If so, there are many postings on the forum about this problem.
.Stay sharp and stay safe!
