I have done thousands of wheels from plate.
I just drill 3 holes for chuck jaw to fit the plate. This way I machine the diameter and bore at same time.

I have a 6" x 1" round piece of aluminum that I need to turn into a flywheel for the model engine I am building. I was thinking of using superglue to secure it to my faceplate as it obviously does not fit in any of my chucks.
Any suggestions how to hold this or should I go looking for someone with a bigger lathe.
