Default Supernova chuck jaws - powergrip, or 100mm set?

I have the larger jaws for the super nova - that chuck is really not able to
handle big stuff, I'd suggest that if you aren't comfortable holding
something in the 50 mm jaws, you should consider whether you can afford a
larger chuck - the larger jaws do work, but the chuck doesn't have the mass
that makes me feel right having it hold a heavy object - I use my VicMarc
chuck for that purpose.

Hi All


I'm finding the standard 50mm jaws a little small for some of the bigger
bowls I currently turning, so I'm trying to decide on the best upgrade.

I'm assuming the powergrip jaws are probably a bit more versatile than the
100mm jaw set, and since they have identical diameters I'm tending in
their direction. However, are there any disadvantages in this choice?

Peter.
