Chucks-Chucks -Chucks [ UK ]
As a relative noob to woodturning ( I acquired my first lathe 3 Months ago )
I feel that I am now restricted in my creations for the lack of a chuck. I have made all kinds of Jam chucks, fixing to the headstock with turned morse Tapers. but its hard going !. Looking through the Polewood Cataloge There is a choice of the Patriot, SuperNova2, Fox FX4000, and others. Yes of course I would probably like the most expensive, ( Patriot @£126 ) or the SuperNova @ £114.00 , are these chucks that much better than the Fox FX4000 @ 68.83 ( including delivery ! ). for which, for the same amount of cash as a Patriot I could also get a couple of sets of Jaws What would you "seasoned" ! woodturners recommend ? Price of course is always an issue. many thanks in advance, and happy turning One thing I have learnt in my 3 months of turning - Ride the Bevel, or Sup with the Devil. :-) |
