The Talon is made by Oneway which is located in Ontario, Canada. The Oneway
products are superior to the Nova products IMO but the Nova products are
quite satisfactory and less expensive. A lot of good turners do a lot of
good work with them.

How come the teknatool site doesnt have all the Nova chucks that KMS
does?(compact) the dovetail scraper is close to twice the price from the
teknatool site, are the chucks the same?(more expensive then elsewhere).
isnt there another Nova chuck called the talon, or something like that?
is
it made by teknatool too(they don't have it on their website either)

I live in Cape Town South Africa & am about to purchase a Supernova

reasonable price? I don't mind spending on quality tools but this
appears
to be out of proportion to other equipment I've bought. What prices
out
there have other people paid?

Graeme, If you just "gotta" have a supernova try do a "Google" search
and
look for a place in Vancouver Canada. price is quite a bit below what
you
paid. A second alternative is go to the Penn State Industries site and
look at their chucks. They have a Chinese knock off for about $45.00US
and
a house brand for not a whole lot more.
