I'm thinking of losing my doughnut system and building some cole style jaws I have a choice:
(1) Get a 17" diameter Aluminum Jig Plate Disc ( cheap at $15.00) and make it from that or
(2) make it from ply
The base will be the 144 mm Jaws I got for my VicMark
The question is: Do metal cole jaws commonly dent the workpiece? The finish turned rim of the piece would be against the jaws and the forces of turning the base may be an issue hammering the rim into the jaws.
The question alone almost causes me to just default to plywood
