Tom, I used a screw chuck to turn all my wheels.
Edited:
Tom, I should splain a little better. My shaft is i/4” so I took a 1/4” bolt, about 1 ½ to 2” long. I threaded a nut down to the top of the bolt to give the jaws of the lathe something more to grip. I drilled the hole a little tight and threaded the wheel, rough cut on a band saw, onto the bolt down to the two top nuts. I then threaded two more nuts on the outside of the wheel, one acting as a lock nut. I turned it at about 500 rpm.
