I just thought of this little trick this morning, although I'm sure I'm not the first. I faced off an old auto engine valve I've had in the extra-parts bin for some time. By chucking up the valve stem in the tailstock the face becomes a good reference for squaring up stock in the headstock chuck.
Position the valve face where you want it, then press the face of the stock against the valve face while you tighten up the jaws.
Works pretty good!
