So why not use the Griffen or the Jaws to hold the chuck, then turn?
It certainly means you can change chucks easily. Then tap centre on the well
fixed chuck.
I was just doing that last night and was struck by how much time I was
saving.
Also did not need to sort the leather dry ware out into just which chuck
each one needed and line them up so that I centred and stuck each chuck just
the once. Changing chucks was so simple and easy.
There is also the time needed to let the slip stuck chuck dry just a little
(usually cup of tea time!) before doing the turning; else the first bit of
turning throws the chuck off centre again.
So often a combination of methods turns out right. There's no single method
which is right every time for everyone:-)
