I think Oak if corrosion is a problem could either be well sealed with a good oil or even a good coat of plastic paint. tom
that would work if I knew what the plastic was, one of the guys that I used to work with gave me a case of plastic tire treads that he had in his service truck when we got laid off that he had tried on a trash compactor that we sold to an outfit that was using it inside a building.
I know that 5 minute epoxy and PVC glue won't work, super glue might but acetone won't melt the stuff.
I guess I could just screw them to a piece of aluminum plate to hold the two pieces together then I can carve our a trough for the chuck to lay in.
What Screws Do You Use in Oak? Whatever I can get to screw into the stuff
I have a block that is similar to the one in the photo, its Birch or Maple
The insert idea is something that I may look into, be nice to have a say one inch annular cutter to cut out the slugs out of the flat bars of plastic
