Default Chuck Properties

Hi Bob


I have the Oneway Stronghold, but also have a couple of Oneway Talon
chucks, you could use a Talon for doing the smaller bowls, than switch
chucks for the Jumbo Jaws, or buy a Stronghold body only.
Turners often do batches of bowls etc. so they don't have to switch so
often.
And yes I know what you're saying that's why most production turners
also have several chucks, I would not start mixing different makes of
chucks, and run into all kinds of incompatibilities, like screw heads,
length, size, and other things not thought of.

Have fun and take care

the OneWay Jumbo Jaws. I have been doing a lot of smaller bowls lately and
find the Jumbo Jaws very handy for finishing the bottom. Consequently, I
spend a lot of time switching back and forth between the jumbo jaws and the
regular jaws. Does anyone know if any of the less expensive chucks will
directly take the OneWay jumbo jaws so that I wouldn't have to do quite as
much jaw manipulation?
