Let me see...

With Vicmarc you have a history of fine products and good support. With Tech you have a
history of quality control problems, issues of poor design, redesign and more redesign,...,
new products because the old ones just are not getting the job done...

Seems like a no-brainer to me.

I use Oneway chucks, btw -- a Stronghold and a Talon -- both first-rate, problem-free chucks.

In article , lid says...
The new Nova 2 with 75 mm jaws is about $7 less than the Vicmarc 120
(5-1/2) with 2-1/2" jaws at the Aussie site discussed earlier. As a new
turner on a PM3520A which would you advise? Vicmarc is proven, Nova2 is a
bit new but a natural evolution. Both seem to have some sort of indexing
feature, but I don't know how useable that is. Both have hex keys and
closed backs. Vicmarc maybe a bit more hefty.

Any comments appreciated.
