This was initially brought in to comply with European Union safety
regulations, and is there to stop the cracked knuckles that you can get with
engineering lathe chucks - and they HURT, as I have found out from personal
experience!

Anyone know if they changed the design of the Supanova chuck before coming
out with the latest version? (NB, I do mean Supernova, and not
Supernova2). I just looked in the manual -online at:
http://www.teknatool.com/products/Ch...upermanual.pdf

and where it says there should be a 'Travel stop screw' to stop the jaw
slides being unscrewed to far, it ain't there.
