NOT grinding chuck jaws.

I have a Buck Adjust Tru on my SB 10K. It has seen enough use that the jaws are a sloppy fit in the body. I am going to have no option but to grind the jaws to correct the bell mouth.

Yep and when a chuck gets that worn it is time for drastic measures including looking at a new scroll plate and maybe jaws as well. With a quality chuck like yours replacement parts are available. As I said to Benmychree my point is that identifying the problem is the first step. If you know what the problem is then you can determine the best approach to solving it or at least the best for you at the time all things considered.
Attached is an idea that may help if you are going to grind the jaws.
