Super Nova vs. Oneway Chucks
Thanks for all the comments. Since my post I have been looking at the
Vicmark. I like the idea that it is a closed chuck and therfore the inside of the chuck will stay clean. I will think about it for a while. I'm not ready to buy the chuck yet. I need some time to get the money together. Thanks again. John "WA5FDF" wrote in message oups.com... Bassboat wrote: Hi, my name is John and I am new to this group. I am also new to woodturning. I would like some advice as to which chuck to buy for my Jet 14-42 lathe. Can someone give me some good advice? TIA. John I have a Oneway Talon, SuperNova2, and a Vicmarc 120. If I was starting over I would purchase the Vicmarc chucks as I really like them better. But since I started with the Talon I will probably obtain another body to use multiple jaws. The Talon is a great chuck with nothing lacking. I don't particularly like the Nova since it tightens backwards and has been balky since I got it. It will stop tightening or loosening and you have to move the wrench to the other slot and then it will go. I keep it because I have several face plate rings I use on segmented projects to be able to quickly take on and off. Frankly I don't truly believe you can go wrong if you stick with a good brand chuck. Like everything chucks, lathes, and all other things everyone has a pet or likes a feature of one or the other. Main thing is look at the jaw selection and see which one offers jaws that better fit your turnings. Vernon |
