Thanks Jim, don’t have collets for the lathe, Also the material is 1.5” dia. 4 jaw to the rescue? Not always worth the time to change chucks though………..not a space ship………haha. Maybe they used 3 jaw chucks at the space ship factory lately to make helium system flanges?
Great series of vids - some good refreshers for me. This one I particularly like because I hadn’t seen discussion of testing concentricity of a long shaft by turning two witness diameters. I like the approach - hope to try it at some point.
Stuart - This is not a contest - it's an exchange of ideas . It's about the easiest way to get there. We are looking for the path of least resistance . I'm sure that you have heard this line before . The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. We are looking for the straight line . -- Jim

I didn’t realize I was posting a reply to your comment - so apologies again. No argument intended. By the way, just subscribed to your channel also and am learning plenty from your content also.
Benno -- Here is my Tooth Fairy Scenario . If you have a 5C Collet Chuck - use instead of the 3 Jaw Chuck.
Your Indicator will Thank You. --- Jim
