I need to grind down the outside of an SK40/MT5 reduction shell to fit a short-MT5 taper socket. I've got a suitable SK40 taper mandrel to hold it, but am afraid that any "clamping force" to keep the shell on the mandrel will distort the mandrel away from true and result in the inside and outside no longer being concentric.
Is there a good way to glue it on? I could use a drop of cyanoacrylate ("super glue") in the SK40 socket but am not sure that's a good idea. If it lets go during grinding that's going to ruin the part and other bad things might happen. And if the grinding goes OK it's not clear that I can reverse the process to get the shell off the mandrel, except with heat which might then distort the part.
