Centred the chuck with a piece of 8mm bar in the chuck, and then did the bolts one after another - no faffing with 4 jaws ( or 2 at least..) each bolt time...The chuck centres as quickly as one would centre a bar in a 4-jaw. The same backplate /centering ring also takes the 5C collet chuck, so the centering ring mechanism works a treat. Joe
