Default Lathe Soft Jaws


Hi folks

I'm considering machining soft jaws for a pnuematic chuck to hopefully
improve concentricity.

If I wanted to grip bars from 50mm dia to about 10mm dia would three
sets of jaws be enough? What I'm basically asking is are there any
rules-of-thumb relating bar diameter and the amount of jaw contact /
diameter?

Regards
Rob
