Timmo, The reason that it bounces around the steadies is that you have only two rollers. A lathe steady has three rollers equally spaced. The fixed centre at the free end is solid but the TRAVELLING steady steadies the work at the point of cut so preventing 'bounce'. The is why so many don't use the lathe approach to rounding off. It means a vast lathe structure. Even Jeremy at Collars planes them.
