First ten seconds and last minute is probably all you need to see to get it.

Nice 6-jaw without visible runout, what kind?
 Mine is a Sanou CME, which required a fair amount of touch-up and may never be "done" as I use a Set-Tru 3-jaw for accuracy. My budget 6-jaws are good enough for jobs like that which don't need high precision, i.e. most of what I do for myself.
 

It is a Shars "Set-Tru" style.  I like it better than the Bison 4 jaw. It does have some run-out depending on the size of the stock.  Its only near zero at whatever stock size you dialed it in at.  I think I last zeroed at with a 3/4 gage pin.  Gets me within "about 3-4 tenths (0.0003-0.0004) when its running the size stock its zeroed to.  The spindle nose only seems to be ground to about .0003 so that's not horrible.
It wasn't crazy expensive, but it wasn't cheap import cheap either.  I think it was around $800-900 (+/-) with the D1-5 back plate.
I'd probably change chucks more often if they weren't so heavy and awkward.  I have an electric chair lift I have been thinking about converting into a bench crane for that.  I don't think I have a 12V power supply on the shelf big enough for it though.
