I am still curious, were the jaws gripping enough or did you need to support the back side of the chuck with a spider of something?

Here is how I ballanced mine.

Chuck Balancer
Made a unit to check the balance of my 4-jaw chuck. I bought a bicycle exerciser unit at a secondhand store for $5 bucks a while back. I disassembled it and turned a couple of bearing holders and a shaft to go between them. It seems to work, the best I can tell it's a little over a half ounce...

I understand what you were doing, Just wondering if the Jaws are enough or if it needs to be supported on the back side of the chuck due to its weight.Here is how I ballanced mine.
