I have just bought the cole jaws from Steve on the forum. What would be the cheapest chuck to buy to have them set up rather than having to keep taking the jaws off my supernova every time.
Cheers in advance

Hi
Unless you have a version of Cole jaws that I'm unfamiliar with I wouldn't recommend this practice. The jaw security is dependant on the registers, (the arc shaped machinings on the back of the jaws), engaging in their matched recess in the chuck jaws. There are no registers on the front of any Cole jaws that I have seen therefore the jaws will not seat correctly and the screws will be under shear / bending loads rather than their designed tensile load.

All the cole jaws i have seen have them and the nova one have them for sure
Hi Elaine, Exactly my feeling with regard to swapping the jaws when you need to. I tried my cole jaws with a set of 2" jaws attached to the front and although it all worked fine,I was frightened to death about catching my knuckles on the flying cole jaws. I just chill out now and swap the jaws when need be.Elaine":7aye19zc said:Uhm :roll: as usual great feedback. Always leaves me pondering which is good. I don't want to be rapping my knuckles. So either, have patience and swap the jaws over when I need to or buy a chuck. The piggy bank is looking quite slim after the festive period. Patience it is then. But I shall start putting the pennies away.
In the meantime I shall have fun researching your suggestions.
Cheers
Elaine
