I worried just like you guys galsbut in the real every day world - they work. I'll check mine tonight. PS: That's not to say I think the Talon is the best chuck out there, I have no experience with others and the work I do isn't big enough to challenge the Jaas holding power, etc. Nova g3 jaws update tried everything besides shimming them. OK, some will disagree with what I am going to post, but it represents my experience accurately.

But before I purchasing one thought I would ask and see what other wood turners thought. I see a few people in the revs. I think if there are better ones then I would prefer to purchase one of them.

What are your thought. Bill Boehme Administrator Staff member. Beta Tester. All of them are off by a few thousandths. This is woodworking and not metal working.

You can get a metal chuck for a couple thousand dollars that is more accurate. The main thin in woodturning is how well the chuck holds and repeatability.

You wouldn't want a slack-jawed chuck. If you are primarily a bowl turner the Vicmarc is a great Chuck For Christmas ornaments and such I would use the Oneway stronghold or the Talon. Rob Wallace. The important thing to consider is the range of available jaw profiles that Nova G3 Jaws Map the manufacturer offers, the design and quality of the chuck body and mechanical operation, and other convenience considerations regarding spindle adapter compatibility and the kind of chuck key required.

Whatever you do in the end, I would recommend deciding on one brand and equipping yourself with chucks yes, you will wind up with more than one! I have settled on Vicmarc chucks which I consider the best available today. Years ago I was correctly advised by a few different professional turners to try Vicmarc chucks, and I have been very happy with the performance of Vicmarcs for well over 17 years of constant use I currently own 6 Vicmarc chucks - 4 VM's and 2 VM's for use on my 4 lathes.

Not only are they very well built and well designed, they only require a hex key to operate, and do not rely on proprietary geared keys which require making sure the gear teeth are seated properly EACH TIME you use the chuck and many times for each piece being turned.

I found this annoying in using chucks with geared teeth that I owned previously and have since sold in preference to the Vicmarcs that I now own. Remember that "you get what you pay for" and it is well worth spending some extra cash to buy a top quality chuck that you will use VERY often when turning. Don't skimp on a chuck! Get a good one for your convenience, ease of use, and safety.

Jamie Straw. The G3 has a shorter threaded female part than the corresponding area of my Talon chuck. That being said, the chuck fits fine on my larger Jet lathe. I have the G3 because it came free with my lathe, and am happy to have a second chuck, but super-glad I have the Talon.

PS: That's not to say I think the Talon is the best chuck out there, I have no experience with others and the work I do isn't big enough to challenge the Talon's holding power, etc. I had one of the first Nova chucks, and two Vicmarc chucks, all of which I subsequently sold. All three of these, I thought were good quality chucks, but they all operated with "tommy bars" There were too many times I needed a third hand while using tommy bars.

To my knowledge, none of the currently manufactured chucks operate with tommy bars Now, I own three Oneway Stronghold chucks.

I'm satisfied with the usability and accuracy of these, and there is a wide range of available jaws for them. I'm not looking to purchase any more chucks This feature, I see as a great boon to woodturners. I do wonder if there is a trade-off for accuracy with the quick change feature, though?

Dean Center. I own a Nova G3, a Supernova 2, and a Titan, in order of size and also in order of purchase. My original reason for selecting was twofold: Nova chucks were just a little less expensive and all of the jaws fit all of the chucks. With due respect Jamie, the G3 long predated the introduction of the Comet, though yours may be a dedicated Comet edition, just as there was once a G3 that was sold as the Delta chuck.

All of three perform well, with a minimum amount of attention. The G3 does use a dedicated tool but the Supernova and the Titan use the same hex tool. In our high school shop, we have one chuck of just about every brand available and the students are incredibly hard on them.

The lower priced brands sold for mini lathes have not held up well. The Nova, Oneway and Vicmarc chucks have all faired pretty well. Alan Heffernan. I have 1 Nova, 2 Oneway Stronghold and 1 Vicmarc I no longer use the Nova very often. The repeatability of the Vicmarc puts it on top of the heap. The Strongholds are good for reverse turning which puts them on top of the heap when that is something I want to do.

All of mine except one has been within Teknatool specifications of. I find the serrated jaws very useful for deeper items of any diameter. I do not know the capacity of your lathe but if 12" or larger you may want to look at the SN2 instead of the G3. The G3 will physically accept the mm powergrip and mm bowl jaws but is not rated for them.

I guess they are OK but I have never even installed the small cole jaws; the pin jaws are very nice; the 35mm bowl jaws has the same spigot diameter as the pin jaws. Unless they have changed, be careful of inserts sold by Woodcraft as they may not be oem products but knock-offs.

If you look at Woodcraft for inserts for 1X8 you will see there are two. The real one will come in a red box. If looking just at the chuck and not the set you may want to look at Toolsplus also, you know you will get a real Nova insert.

Michael Mills said:. Vicmarc on my list for my next purchase. Too many turners I respect use them. Kind regards, Rich. Tom Albrecht. John King. Joined Aug 31, Messages Likes 63 Website www. Way too difficult to mount piece in jaws. You will regret it if you purchase a "tommy bar" chuck. Go with a chuck that uses a positive engaging key Vicmarc, Oneway, etc. You will not regret it.

John King said:. Last edited: Sep 10, Douglas Ladendorf. I started with a G3, added a SN2 and they were fine. When I jumped to a bigger lathe I switched to Vicmarc and would do it again. They are excellent. Justin Stephen. Started off with an SN2 on a midi lathe as this was considered a best buy at the time don't think the G3 even existed yet. When I decided I wanted a second chuck, decided to try a different brand just for the heck of it and got a Oneway Talon.

I immediately liked the Talon a lot more, although the serrated jaws were probably part of the reason. When I upgraded to a bigger lathe, I stuck with Oneway. That said, I have used Vicmarc chucks on several occasions and think they are great also. Teknatool makes good stuff though, just prefer Oneway.

I've never used a Hurricane or the EWT chuck. However, I don't find occasionally changing jaws to be that onerous so I don't see the big allure of quick-change jaws. Justin Stephen said:. Joe Greiner. I don't reccomend tommy bars to beginners. I like the hex key in the vicmarc.

In fairness to tommy bar chucks, Few things in woodturning are clear cut Tommy bar vs key is one of them. With the spindle locked, tommy bar chucks are easier and faster to operate than keyed chucks.

One hand operates the bar to open and close the jaws with a push or pull and one holds the work piece. Adding a longer shaft on the bar gives an effortless positive lock with a push and quick release with a pull. Of course if you don't have an easy to use spindle lock you can't use the tommy bar chucks easily.

The statement that a good metal chuck costs "a couple thousand dollars" is not true. The chuck that comes standard with Grizzly's cheapest lathe has a measured runout of about 0. The issue is with the inaccuracy of screw-on chucks. Even if the threads on the chuck are perfect, the threads on the spindle of your lathe may not be.

In my experience the screw-on wood chucks have several thousandths of run-out. I get different numbers depending on which lathe I measure -- different results for my Woodfast compared to my JET If you want accuracy on smaller pieces mount your work on a morse taper. I'm a big fan of Vicmarc chucks and recommend them. Steve Arnold. I started out with a G3 chuck, but wasn't very happy with it because I don't think it held pieces as securely as it should have.

I ended up selling it on eBay and buying a Vicmarc , and I think it's the best decision I could have made. In my opinion, there's no comparison between the two chucks. Last edited: Sep 12, Would like to thank everyone for your input. I have started looking at Vicmarc and Oneway chucks. Again Thank you.

I have 2 Vicmarc VM chucks, one of which is about 17 years old and is still in use, never a problem. The newer one operates in reverse as far as tightening and jaw numbering. They have to be really heavily cranked down to hold the blank in position.

You can tell it's out of alignment. It's not making contact at the top until you really crank it down, but still hardly any pressure applied at the top. Sent from my iPad using Penturners. Being this thread started and I just got mine last week I had to go try them.

I too wind up with the same amount of gap and no it does not grip the front of the blank at all. I tried on 2 different chucks because I have multiples.

I did everything I possibly could think of and even read the instructions But what i will do is dedicate this chuck to these jaws and I will go to Harbor Freight and pick up a set of feeler gauges and just shim the jaws. It will not take much. I can zero dead on with feeler gauges. Unless someone can suggest something else other than returning which I may look into. I may call the company after the holidays and see what they say to do and see if they have other complaints.

Too much of a coincidence for 2 people here to see this. If others have them I would appreciate if you check your setup and report back. I went under the recommendation of others here that they have them and they work but 2 for 2 on pen dedicated chucks for not working.

I can at least say the PSI chuck did start out working but poor design and poor quality metal has defeated that chuck over time. Now I do have shorter jaws for that chuck which I will take a good look at too. But they are a 4 jaw set-up but I maybe able to use just two.

Have to investigate. I thank the op for bringing this to light. MTViper Member. Has anyone contacted Nova to ask them about this issue?

It's possible they got a bad batch of jaws. EBorraga Member. I'll check mine tonight. I have a full size chuck not the G3. I filled out a customer service form with Nova yesterday at 8 am with pictures. No response yet. Warren White Member. I just checked my G3 Pens Plus Totally unacceptable. I will be calling Teknatool in just a minute and will update this post when i hear from them.

Warren White said:. Click to expand Just called and talked to Andrew VERY helpful. He is sending out a replacement set of jaws, and I directed him to this website. He has already brought it up and will be contacting those with issues. I've had my pen jaws for a couple of years and didn't think to check the alignment till now. I have had some problems with drill bits wandering, entrance holes becoming elliptical and suchlike, but I'd always attributed it to "maybe the blank isn't square".

Now I'm wondering if the times I had no problem it was because the blanks weren't square and compensated for the jaws being out of whack :biggrin: Guess I have to measure up when I get back in the workshop I have this same setup and have not noticed the widening gap on the pen jaws.

I'll check tonight though. Rockytime Member. My Nova G3 Pen Jaws align perfectly. No I won't tell how the ends got boogered! Further update Warren what number did you call? I haven't got a response in 48 hours. Thanks Sent from my iPad using Penturners. I haven't had an issue I'm aware of drilling but on my jaws, when fully closed there is a slight gap at the top on 1 side and a gap all the way up on the other.

Now ya got me scratching my head. Freezing fog out right now so I'll make a trip to the shop[ in the daylight. From the web When it's clamped tight at the bottom, there's some movement at the open end of the jaws.

I measured with digital calipers, it's 0. I use these pens jaws exclusively and yes I saw the same gap. It can be reduced through some adjustment to minimum. I worried just like you guys gals , but in the real every day world - they work. I drill on the lathe, flush sand the blanks on the lathe and of course turn and finish on the lathe using these jaws.

Enjoy them in use as they hold your stuff well. Just my opinion of course. Last edited: Dec 23, I'm hoping Warren has the answer in getting corrected jaws from teknatool. By the way thanks for the number Warren! Follow up with Teknatool OK. I have to say that I have never had customer service like this before! I am so impressed. I received a new set of Pen Jaws from Teknatool over the holiday.

Because it was the holiday, I had until last night to try to figure this whole thing out and contact Andrew at Teknatool again this morning. When I tried the new jaws in my G3 the result was just the same as before. The jaws were out of alignment; splayed out, with a larger gap at the end. I decided to do a bit of kitchen-counter research.

I put both of the Pen Jaw sets on the kitchen counter and looked to see if there was a gap when they were on a flat surface. There wasn't. I have added pictures to show what I was seeing. The first is the new jaws on my G3; the second is the new jaws removed and sitting on the kitchen counter; the third is my original jaws sitting on the counter. To me, that pointed to the jaw slides on the G3; somehow they must not be parallel across the slides, resulting in a surface that will not allow the jaws to align at a 90 degree angle.

I tried to determine if the jaw slides on my G3 were uneven, but measuring that was difficult. I called Andrew at Teknatool and discussed my findings with him. I sent him an email with pictures to show what I had done and what my conclusions were. He was most appreciative. He called back in a couple of minutes and asked what model G3 I had. I just received a notice they are sending me a new G3 chuck. I probably can't show the pictures in the right order on this response.

I hope you can figure out what I did. I just did a preview and see that my pictures are rotated which will bother some folks. They aren't rotated like this on my desktop, and I don't know what to do about it. Their commitment to my satisfaction with their products is amazing! It is funny Warren because I was going to ask you what the results were. I figured with the holiday mail everything was backed up.

I was going to call this week but I may now wait to see your results. I did the same thing more or less with mine. When I placed on a flat surface they line up well.

I looked at the chuck and as you say it is difficult to measure flatness of any kind. Yes I can shim the jaws but it should not have to be. If the chuck is the answer I may have to go through the same process. I will use your name if you do not mind and explain that this was discovered on this site and there are others interested. I do need a set of pen jaws some how and soon. My attempt to get replacements through PSI has failed twice and instead of spending money for those I rather get an answer here on this chuck.

Did he ask you to send the chuck back. Thanks for keeping us informed. I wasn't asked to return the chuck I expect some communication from them in the shipment. I certainly don't expect them to give me another one. I will let you know what happens. I ordered mine right after they came out. I had the same problem.

I ended up getting a new set and they did not have the gap. I heard they had a problem with this alignment and that my new set corrected the problem whatever it was. Just started a new pen and checked the jaws. They are still in alignment. Been using them for more than pens which is well over a year. You are right, they have great customer service.

When is a "problem" OK, some will disagree with what I am going to post, but it represents my experience accurately.

I got involved in this thread at perhaps the wrong time, but when I noticed the discussion about the Teknatool pen jaws not aligning, I checked mine and they didn't either. I have to confess that I had not at that time tried to drill with them because my pen jaws were new and I had not yet needed to drill a blank.

I mentioned in this forum that I contacted Teknatool and they responded right away with a new set of Pen Jaws. I posted that they were the had the same issue. I also checked to make sure the jaws were orthogonal when they were not attached to the G3. They were. I contacted Teknatool, and they sent me another G3 and another set of Pen Jaws. I mounted the pen jaws on the new G3 and the result was the same; they did not come together in a parallel manner.

You know, the proof of the pudding, etc. I cut a walnut blank to the size needed for a Slimline pen and mounted it on my lathe. Round, not oblong; centered at both ends. I did not have to clamp it so tight as to deform the walnut. There were no marks on the blank at all. I did notice that the blank will not go all of the way into the jaws, since it hits the inside screw head.
