Not sure how you "true up" on a bench grinder

The savage bolt head comes off the bolt body. I tried holding it in a 4-jaw but it was too much of a ball-ache. just ended up gripping part of the ball in a 3-jaw and indicating the stem. Turned back as far as I could toward the jaws, and then cut it off with a hacksaw. Getting the die to bite into the stainless was the biggest issue.

I'd only look at making a jig if I had to do more than one, or if all else failed
