Hello- Is the standard Nova chuck too big for the Jet mini 1014 lathe? The Nova Compac is on hold for a redesign, and the standard Nova has a much larger pile of accessories for it and it doesn't cost much more. Anybody using a Nova on a Jet mini? Thanks, Joe in NH
Nova chuck on Jet mini 1014?

I hope not. I'm using a Super Nova on my Jet Mini with no problems. There is a bit of a flywheel effect, but that's to be expected from a larger chuck and a lathe with no braking. You shouldn't have any problems with the standard Nova chuck.

I'm using a SuperNova on my Jet mini and have been for over 2 years with no problems. It's definitely heavier than the Nova and I use it every day. I've also put pieces of wood on there that weigh probably
35-40 pounds and they've spun merrily around. You've got no worries with your Jet and a Nova.-- Chuck *#:^) chaz3913(AT)yahoo(DOT)com Anti-spam sig: please remove "NO SPAM" from e-mail address to reply. <
