SUPERNOVA2 CHUCK

[Fingerjoint]

Hi all

Can someone tell me what chucks will be compatible with a Nova jaws range

Peter

Basically the Nova jaws from Record Power and the Patriot jaws from Robert Sorby will be compatable with the Supernova 2 chuck, but I don't think anything else is.

I have a Patriot and a Supernova (1) chuck and all the jaws are interchangeable.

I have a Supernova chuck with a mix of Nova and Patriot jaws - everything fits, but there's one oddity - any idea why the Nova jaws are numbered as to where they fit, but the Sorby ones aren't ?

Sorby claim that their jaws are so accurately machined that it does not matter which order you place them in when mounting. All my jaws are Nova, so I cannot verify that from experience, though!!

Is this the Taffs Corner? I too Have The supernova 2 But i dont rate the gripper jawsThey Dont hold The Piece very well it might Be me as a newbie But looking at Axminster jaws there is more Bite On them . mine are numbered But yet To find out The reason Why.

The long nose jaws on the patriot are also numbered, for the reason that when mounted in sequence the gripper grooves form a thread that tightens on the piece, I also have the gripper Jaws for the nova, I have not checked but wonder if the numbering serves a similar purpose?

Hi

Dakota XT700 jaws will also fit both of the above chucks.

Great chuck, I have two of them and about to get a 3rd from Peter Childs who does the COMPatriot chuck, which is the same chuck just without the jaws and insert for £90 which is great if you already have the jaws.

I bought the COMpatriot chuck at the Yandles Show last month and it is very good. I have used it with 4" jaws with no trouble, and all my Nova jaws fit very well and are a good tight and matching fit when the jaws are closed. The chuck is quiet in operation and the jaws are easy to tighten and loosen with the big T-bar key provided. I would happily buy another if I could justify a third chuck!!

I have the bowl reversing jaws fairly permanently fixed to one. I find that quite handy and sometimes leave an unfinished piece on the other chuck rather than trying and failing to get it re-chucked 100% right. I now have a mini lathe and a third chuck could be allocated to that lathe, actually I could do with a 4th really :lol:

I couldn't agree more Peter I'm thinking of getting the new Axminster one just because I like it LOL

Hi

I have seven scroll chucks, each fitted with differing jaw sets - havn't been able to 'justify' an eighth so far but you never know, I'm sure a need will arise in the future :wink:

Regards Mick

THe Toolpost Versachuck also has all the carriers to work with the different jaws.

I done a comparison on that one against the new Axminster chuck and it only works out £30 cheaper by the time you add up all the other bits needed so I'm still with the axminster one seeing as I already have a complete axminster set up plus my wife has said she will get it for Christmas for me even cheaper LOL

I could be totally wrong here but I assumed this was so you could mark your work-piece, for re-mounting in the same position on the chuck later.
