Chris i turned and bored an 83 mm diameter x 25 mm thick aluminium billet super glued to a face plate on my Sherline lathe. No problem at all, the hardest part was breaking the glued joint as i used a little to much glue. Its surprising how a small amount of Super glue spreads over a large area, just had to heat to a slightly higher temp to unbond the joint. Smaller items will break the joint with a light tap but the large area i had was practically impossible to break the joint without heating without causing damage to the parts with hammering.

Many thanks Martin,

I take it you also must have the riser set to increase the size of stock you can machine. I am still researching Loctite 480. My findings (some from posters on this forum) is that the bond it makes requires moisture so a thin ring maybe the answer. Cure time is 24 hours but I am investigating as set time is seconds. A heat gun maybe the way to release the 2 components rather than a torch.

No riser used, billet just cleared the bed by a hair. Round billet had to be glued quite central otherwise it risked touching the bed.
