b4dyc, If your 3-jaw has the same "slop" going on and repeatedly gives the nice dial indicator reading on the "Silver Steel" rod. wereas the collet chuck does not, then I would have to conclude that the later is woefully inaccurate.
Unfortunately, I can't think of a viable way to rectify it other than making your own collet adapter on your own lathe.
