In the G3 package I sort of am unsure or want to make sure exactly the size of the jaws in the package deal offered by Woodcraft last Nov so I dont order something wrong in the future..In the package were a small cole jaw set and a 1" and 2" set..
I turn flutes and start with a 1 1/2" square blank and want to order a set with more depth to them so to get a good grip on the blank...Thanks for all suggestions!

The jaws are normally labeled to the minimum expansion size. In other words, the 50mm jaws (2") will fit a 2" recess in expansion mode, and expand from there to their maximum size. You should have received a manual of all the jaws from which you can choose the best for your purpose, but it is available online here (http://www.teknatool.com/products/chuck_accessories/General/downloads/Accessory%20Jaw%20Manual_Nov07.pdf). Seems like the spigot jaws would work well for you.
