Michael,

One handy tip is to have a series of already prepared discs with tenons cut to match your preferred chuck jaws. Then its only a matter of inserting them into the chuck, facing off and cutting the recess when you require one. I have made up a series with kwilia face plates approx 40mm thick x 75mm dia, some with 1"x8 black nuts set into the rear, that I glue (hot melt or Titebond / AVXL Plus) sacrificial radiata pine face plates onto. When the pine is past its use by date face off and glue on another.
