I am building a large fly cutter, I will be machining it with an R8 connection for my mill and it will join the fly cutter disk (a 8.75" dia piece of 6061 Aluminum) at a pressed connection with a small 4 bolt flange. I have a piece of 4041 but it is a bit smaller in Dia than I would like and I have a piece of 1045 which in a great fit. I am curious about the thought on using the 1045 for this application as opposed to the 4041.
