It's boring and ID on such piece that had me worried.

Piece of cake!

Once you've used soft jaws with success, you'll wonder how the hell you got
along without them. They are, truly, the magic bullet of lathe work.

I use soft jaws in place of the hardened steel jaws with almost NO
exceptions. I have a set that is bored through for gripping bar stock. It
runs truer than the factory jaws in both concentricity and perpendicularity.
