SuperNova 2 chuck
I ordered a Supernova chuck and cole jaws from the KMS Tools
website. It was the best prices I found. That night Bob Gadd called me at home and said they were out of Supernova Chucks, but if it was OK with me, they were going to ship me a Supernova 2 chuck for the same price. What a guy! The cole jaws included screws that I thought were too long, until I read the instructions: They were for attaching regular jaws on top of the cole jaws. Also included were 8 cheese-head screws--a new term to me. Probably a down-under term. I guess they call a regular pan head screw a cow patty screw. -- Gerald Ross Cochran, GA A bachelor is a selfish, undeserving guy who has cheated some woman out of a divorce. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

I'm from down under and I have no idea what a cheese head screw is
either. Then again Teknatool is a New Zealand company and they are a weird lot.

The term 'cheesehead' is used in the UK to describe a screw with a round
parallel sided head and slotted to accept a flat-bladed screwdriver. It can also be used as a derogitary term for a Dutchman. I believe the term was first used in the Boar war.

Boers aside, in the US a cheesehead is a Packer backer. A fan of
Wisconsin's American football team who wears a plastic imitation of a wedge of cheese as a headgear. Of course, Wisconsin also refers to itself as "America's Dairyland."
