Sorry to barge into your post, Bob, but I just read an article and wanted to
amend my post..

I'll back off on my recommendation of the Nova chuck for the OP, it isn't the
same size as the Vimarc and Stronghold, it's the size of the Talon.. My
mistake..

I just upgraded from a midi to a new Powermatic lathe and would like to hear

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

When I moved from my Jet mini to a Powermatic, I kept my Oneway Talon
chuck and just changed the threaded headstock adapter. I keep my the
#1 Talon jaws on it. I supplemented the Talon with a Oneway
Stronghold for larger turnings.

I am quite happy with both chucks, and the jaw/chuck combinations work
well for nearly all of my spindle and bowl turnings.
