Hi Wizer, I have the "Masterchuck" from Peter Child, its ok, but someday I will upgrade to a "Patriot", then I will not have to tighten up with a C spanner and tommy bar!!!
Since I got hold of a oneway talon I have serious doubts about the supanova / patriot(both basically the same chuck. Though no doubt they are good chucks, the holding ability of the Oneway is far superior and surprisingly leaves little or no marks. The basic jaws that come with it are also deper allowing for more adaptability for off centre turning. If I had to buy another chuck it would be the oneway.

Another little cracker, Thomas ...
Certainly looks to have more than a hint of "Ash-iness" about the look of the wood 8)
I like the shape too. Really nice little piece
