Nice set up, I would try using a bolt instead of threaded rod.? The jaws would have a better grip on the hex head and they make them long as you need with plenty of threads.

I made a setup to try.
It workt for the collet chuck that sits here on te unimat with a M10 - 1.5 thread in the 3-chuck. But M6 - 1.0 thread was not a succes, not enough grip so it slips.
