Something I have seen a friend do on his Myford is to mount a 50mm Emco chuck on a mandrel made from hex bar and grip the mandrel in the jaws of a larger chuck. He has marked one of the faces of the hex bar so having calculated which position gives the minimum runout he can easily refit the smaller chuck again and again.

I have an 80mm Emco 3 jaw chuck on a 20mm parallel shank. This can be held in collets on various lathes as needed.

David.
