I may be missing this, but I didn't see anyone mention the CA glue comment. While I completely agree about not gluing end grain, the other half of the comment was about using CA glue. This would be like going from the frying pan to the fire. CA glue is brittle and not meant to take sharp blows. One good catch and you would have a missile coming off the lathe. I'm with John Keeton about chucking it, but the faceplate is a valid option as well.
