Teknatool's Nova Chuck Jaw Sets OD & ID ranges chart in a.b.p.w.

If you have a Nova chuck this chart might be handy to download, print, laminate and around the lathe.

> for the same thing The link provided just shows the jaw sets with names - no min & max ID and OD values. And the names Teknatool have and the names in the Woodturners Catalog aren't the same.

The min & max ID and OD for each jaw set is contained on multiple pages on Teknatool's site but I couldn't find them all in one place and not on a single 8

1/2" x 11" page that can be laminated and kept near the lathe.

Can, and will, use the info on the Teknatool site to check against the stuff in the WC. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the link - missed finding it on the Teknatool site when I went exploring. Suggestion from rec.crafts.woodturning was to make 1/4" ply or masonite/tempered board gauges, one for each jaw set - min and max compression diameters for spigots/tenons and min and max "fingers" for expansion in openings/holes. So I'm working on some patterns that can be used to cut out those gauges. Am making the "min. compression" diameter slightly LARGER than the actual "min compression" to provide a little extra compression options for small spigots/tenons at the lower limit and the max compr- ession diamter a little SMALLER than the actual max compression to make sure the spigot/tenon will fit - without the need for any "beat the sucker into the jaws with a 2x4".

Will post the pattern images when I've finished them.

Or - you could use a pencil and ruler. Center's easy to find, so put your point of origin there and go out the required for the mark you cut to. I prefer to spin by hand for the marking.

Of course it doesn't involve templates or the thrill of making them ....
