How about close the jaws on something and turn a small step on the end; about 1/4" long from the tip of the jaw.
Now make a ring the correct size so that when you open the jaws with the ring on the small step they are positioned correctly for turning a larger step the size for your workpiece ID.
Then as a final step grip something again and face off the small step.
