    If you're new to the 4jaw, I strongly recommend you read my suggestions on centering...

    and this additional tip...

    The 4jaw can be frustrating for newcomers to it but following those tips will ease the process considerably and make you as comfortable with it as you probably are already with the 3jaw.
