Have you checked the run out of your chuck just to be sure it is concentric? Perhaps the jaws are placed out of order or in the wrong slots? Just a thought.
The jaws are in the correct slot, but I haven't checked to see if they are all in the same spot. For smaller work, the chucks have worked fine. I think it is very easy to have the tube slightly cocked in the chuck which gets to be a big problem 6 inches later.
Supporting from the tailstock sounds like the right answer. I ordered a bull nose center. While I am waiting on it, I will see if I can use a wood plug with my live center in the tail stock.
