Fit soft jaws to your chuck. Adjust until close to the diameter to be bored to suit job. Pick the ring closest to the current internal diameter at the rear of the jaws. Clamp the jaws down on the ring. Bore jaws to suit job. Remove ring. Clamp jaws on the job. Turn! I leave it to you to determine how to add an additional procedure if the job diameter needs to pass through the chuck jaws.

Here`s a link to one of the tools I was talking about.
Cool tool! That how I thought they were used, usless for what I want. The hard jaws of the universal chuck for the Graziano lathe had been re-bored by a former employee (who didn't know that the chuck could be adjusted) and is off by .0015 . Clamp long ground rod in it and it wobbles unevenly, one way at the chuck and the other further out. I would like to straighten it out, and dont have access to a decent tool post grinder. Clamping some 1/4 inch aluminum bars between the angles on the jaws and boring didn't improve it.
Any tips would be appreciated. This is a low buck, small production shop.
They are for boring soft jaws. I usually see them in CNC apps where the chuck is hydraulic. How well do they work out on scroll chucks?
