Default Jaw sets

My question is, are Teknatool and Oneway jaw sets interchangable? I am
thinking of buying the SuperNova chuck from Teknatool, however there are
some jaw sets that look like they would do a better job from Oneway. Or will
I be forced to purchases a Oneway scroll chuck also?

Yes, I'm pretty sure the holes line up, and yes, you would have to pull
the safety pin out of the oneway jaws. However, I work with both the
oneway and teknatool chucks and jaws. I own a teknatool supernova. I've
used oneway on pieces up to 16" diameter, as well as the teknatool.
Holding power, one over the other is a non-arguement. They both hold
the wood to a capacity that is limited to the wood not the chuck.
I would recomend to anyone, skip the oneway, consider a g3 or
supernova, and enjoy an excellent line of jaws teknatool make
available.

The main arguement of the G3 is price, but it isn't sealed, and it's an
older style key. The supernova2 is sealed and uses an allen key. for me
it would come down to how budget conscious you need to be.
