I have done it before, but I had access to a lathe to thin the face some to get some hubcentric action going. I had access to proper disks from a known manufacturer so I didn't feel I had a cheap metal problem coming.
Remember if you do that. They have proper arc welding rods to weld to cast iron

Again.... I wouldn't use a cast iron rotor milled down for use as a hub. My preference is to use a spec built hub for the purpose.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
