I owned a Nova DVR for several years. I liked it a lot but eventually
out grew it. I now own a Oneway 2436 and also purchased two
Stronghold chucks. I love them. They are very accurate and have a
very "strong hold." I still own and use my old Nova chucks. I use
them on the Oneway lathe when I am turning smaller items.

The problem I ran into was that the Oneway spindle size is bigger than
the Nova chuck hole. Therefore, you cannot get a Nova adaptor for the
Nova chuck that fits on the Oneway lathe. I looked high and low and
suddenly it occurred to me. You must instead use a step down adapter
from Oneway. Larger lathes have larger spindles for a purpose...so
you can turn larger pieces of wood. Therefore, smaller chucks don't
fit on their spindles. Using a small chuck on a big turning would be
the weakest link.

Therefore, if you ever plan on eventually purchasing a larger lathe
then you may want to think ahead. If not, you might be buying new
chucks sooner than you think.
