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. :-)



The Nova G3 is another one. I heard that Nova jaws will go on a Patriot.
I have 2 Supernovas, a G3 and a Versa. The Versa I find is heavy so it only
gets used when
I want the jaws that are on it. Enjoy the addiction
