Supernova II Chuck
Has anyone seen a new Supernova II Chuck? ? ? I have one Supernova and have
been totally satisfied with it; albeit turning small stuff on a Jet Mini. Now, I have a Stubby on order and am in the market for another new chuck. Is this new version worth a look? How about the big one, the Nova Titan Chuck? I'm tempted to just go for another Supernova while they are still on the shelves. Comments please? Barry |

I haven't had a chance to get put a SuperNova2 through its paces yet,
but given that it is mostly a downsized Titan, I would say that it should be an excellent midsized chuck. Indeed, it has a few features, like the build in indexing (which for me is useless) that its slightly older big brother doesn't even have. I certainly find the Titan to be an excellent chuck and use it all the time for coring, when before I usually used faceplates. I think it has the very best key arrangement currently available, going Vicmark one better by having a ball end on the key which makes insertion even easier and allows for a little angling of the key. You can get a pdf of the Titan review I did for More Woodturning he http://www.fholder.com/Woodturning/lyn.html and since that review the Titan has gotten even better with some minor upgrades in gearing that make it an even smoother chuck. I think you will be happy with either chuck, but since you are getting a Stubby and are apt to want to maximally use its capabilities, I think you might be even happier with the Titan. Lyn Barry N.
