Zero-Set style chuck backing plate is another option. Adapt your current chuck with one, get it dialed in to .0005 repeatability on the same diameter...

Not gun work, but many of the projects I do like R/C, 3D prints, small tooling requires 4-40, 3 and 4mm screws. I haven't machined anything large. Even...
