Default Chucks-Chucks -Chucks [ UK ]

Perhaps true, but a cheap set of t-handled allen wrenches was one of the
best 11$ I ever spent. One is dedicated to my SN^2, and two more to my
bandsaw.


I have a cheap set (plastic handles) from HF, but when I bought my
SuperNova chuck from kmstools, they included a T-handle allen wrench.


Hmmm?!? My 'nova came from KMS. I got the nice T-handle for the the chuck
itself, but I'm fairly sure that it only had a regular allen ("L") wrench
for the jaw-attaching screws.

This has a plastic coated metal handle, and the extra mass makes it
easier to remove the nuts. Give it a spin, and it keeps revolving.


My technique is to use the 'T' to initially "break the seal" then then just
spin the sharft between my thumb and forefinger for high-speed.


I recommend getting a single high-quality wrench of the proper size for
your chuck. Wiha sells a 4mm for $3 to $8. (I don't have a Wiha, but
wahted to check the prices).


I agree; it's a fine chuck and wothy of a decent wrench
