Scroll Chuck purchase advice/opinion

I have the same lathe, and use a Nova chuck. The Talon is a good chuck, you won't need to worry about that. The one problem that I ran into is that the spindle on the lathe is so long that it will thread all the way through the Nova and hit the jaws without ever seating properly. I solved that by purchasing a large washer, which gives it just enough space, and produces no runout that I can discern. : )

The Talon is one of the really good choices. It is robust, mine does not show wear in the mechanism after nearly three years of use.

I would absolutely start with the 3/8. It handles easier for a beginner, and most important, it is far easier to sharpen and reshape, due to less metal mass.

A beginner will /should try different kinds of edges to find one to suit ones own "way".

I recently got a Vicmarc VM100, plus a screw plate and a set of bowl jaws to match and I have to say that this chuck is a work of art.

The quality and workmanship on all the gear is excellent, it's well packed, the manual is excellent and you get great followup from the factory. Check out

You can't go wrong with the teknatool Supernova 2 chuck. Just bought one, excellent quality, directions, and support. hth..

I have the Vicmark and have used the Oneway chucks. Both are excellent and You can't go wrong with either brand. As for bowl gouges, go with the 3/8 size which is 1/2 inch actual diameter.
