As a relative noob to woodturning ( I acquired my first lathe 3 Months ago )
I feel that I am now restricted in my creations for the lack of a chuck. I
have made all kinds of Jam chucks, fixing to the headstock with turned morse
Tapers. but its hard going !. Looking through the Polewood Cataloge There is
a choice of the Patriot, SuperNova2, Fox FX4000, and others. Yes of course
I would probably like the most expensive, ( Patriot @£126 ) or the
SuperNova @ £114.00 , are these chucks that much better than the Fox FX4000
@ 68.83 ( including delivery ! ). for which, for the same amount of cash as
a Patriot I could also get a couple of sets of Jaws

What would you "seasoned" ! woodturners recommend ? Price of course is
always an issue.


many thanks in advance, and happy turning


One thing I have learnt in my 3 months of turning - Ride the Bevel, or Sup
with the Devil. :-)

I afraid I'm not much help as I only recognize the SN2, the other two
must be UK brands that never make it across the pond. I like my SN2's
but the Canadian Oneway and Ausy Vicmarc are great too (SN2 will take
any jaw that Teknatool makes, well, except for the Titan Power jaw,
something not true in most lines)
