RustyFN Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 I just bought a new chuck from Rockler. It seemed like a decent deal at $149. If anybody needs another chuck check them out. Not sure how long the sale will last. 1) Nova G3 Chuck with 1'' x 8-TPI Threading (1) Set of 50mm/2" jaws (1) Set of 100mm/4'' jaws (JS100N) (1) Set of Pin Jaws (JSPIN) (1) Safe Lock™ Woodworm screw (1) Instruction Manual (1) T-handle chuck key (1) Set of fastenings (1) Storage case Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 For years I used a Nova Midi. The two biggest complaints I had with it was the length of time it took to change jaws and that the jaws needed to be installed/reinstalled in the proper location (jaw 1 in location 1, etc.). For my birthday, I got an Easy Wood Chuck. Haven't used the midi since. Fast jaw changes-no sequence/order of installation and I love the "zoom" ring!

Gerald Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Sounds like a great deal with all those jaws alone worth over 100. But I prefer SN2 and can get those for 119. Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyFN Posted October 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 The easy wood chuck is out of my price range. They do look nice though. I have another Nova chuck so I am hoping to get each one set up with different jaws and I won't have to change them. What is SN2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyFN Posted October 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Found it, super nova. I might try one of those next. I am looking to have a few with different jaws. Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
