David,
Why are you using that set of Jaws in Picture 1?
It leaves a lot of the material unsupported. When using a Chuck it's best to have the least amount of material unsupported as possible. Also, unless you require the final Diameter to be the same as the Material Diameter, ie un-machined, a bit of eccentricity doesn't matter provided you don't remove the work during machining.
I've got a couple of Collet Chucks for the Chipmaster. Infortunately they're not 'through' so only useful for short workpieces.
