Excellent basic turning set
I bought this set to replace the tools when I sold my Shopsmith. I have lathe chisels made by Sorby, Henry Taylor, Woodcraft, and Delta. I use the Delta for the majority of my turnings, mainly pens. These are High Speed Steel tools with excellent handles. I sharpen them on a Delta vertical water cooled sharpener. They hold their edge as well as any of the others. They are definately NOT Carbon Steel as the previous reviewer claims. I have been very pleased with these tools and would recommend them to anyone doing spindle turning.

The tools seem to be of carbon steel.
Carbon steel for lathe tools have be mostly replaced by high speed steel. Carbon steel needs to much more frequently sharpened. Sharpening carbon steel on a high speed (greater than about 400 rpm) grinder is very tricky. Is is very easy to overheat the carbon steel and ruin its hardness. Amazon.com should consider adding high speed steel turning tools to it's tool selection. ... Read more

Why this combination? The 2" jaws are a given (they come with the chuck!). Pin jaws are extremely useful for small turnings, and also act as a small spigot jaw. The Cole Jaws are our most popular selling jaw - designed for refinishing the bottom of a bowl up to 10". The 45mm Spigot jaws (my personal favorite) are just the ticket for long unsupported (i.e. no tail stock) spindle work - goblets, candle holders, etc. This is a great starter package - these are probably jaws you will buy eventually - buy them with the chuck and save! Upon ordering, please be sure to email us to confirm the insert size you require to fit your lathe (contact info is under "shipping rates and policies - seller help."). ... Read more

Great chuck
After having a 3 week wait for the insert for my lathe, I put the chuck together and made a little goblet with it to give it a little test. Being kind of new to turning, any woodturner would appreciate my hesitance at turning a piece of wood being only held at one end. But I found that once I tightened down the jaws, I could grab the piece of wood and lean back on it, and that piece of would was NOT going to come out or even loosen! I was able to turn the whole goblet without ever adjusting the chuck or even paying it any attention at all. The instructions for putting it together were great, and is really easy to use. My only thought (regret) would be that if this chuck performed this good, how much better is the Supernova chuck? GREAT value for the money, especially if you have a less powerful lathe where getting a bigger scroll chuck may be too taxing on your motor. Would definately get this guy. Comes with all the tools you'll need to use it, plus a heavy screw for screw chucking.

Great chuck but what about LH threads?
Conspicously missing from this product is the availability of LH thread inserts. Most bowl turners turn on the outside of the lathe. Unless you have a reversing motor (IE a newer lathe) you need LH threads. Some of Nova's competitors do offer the LH thread.

Nova does offer a blank insert so you can cut your own thread but you have to have a metal lathe or a left hand tap.

Nova Chuck Review
I have been working with this chuck for 8 years. I bought the chuck when it was first introduced into the UK where it is more expensive than here. I liked the precision and the way it emmulated metal working chucks in its versatility. It is well made and has never given me any problems. Although it may have competition, I like the quality; I would definitely buy it again. ... Read more

Nova has reworked the extremely popular Supernova chuck, and reintroduced it as the Supernova 2. The biggest changes are replacing the keyed pinion with a fixed pinion & Allen key opening/closing mechanism, a closed back, and faster action.

This means previous purchases hold their value. Every chuck comes complete with new display box & CD box has space to display and pack extra accessory jaws, inserts etc. Great for organisation!

Jet disappointed me.
After recieving my 1442 Jet Lathe with a very good instruction manual, I really expected the same with other products I rec'd from Jet. However, for this kit, Jet purchased an instruction manual from a book store and the manual does NOT show how to use the items in the kit! Plus the manual uses jigs and other things to drill and press parts that aren't in the kit. The mandrel is not the same either. You would think a company as large as Jet could afford to have their own manual printed with the equipment as shown in the kit. I expected better! ... Read more

Vega DU-2 Utility Duplicator
The duplicator attached easily to my Jet 1236. It went together quite easily. It did not come with parts to mount a master, but only for a pattern (they suggest a plexiglas profile cutout), which works pretty well. It came adjusted for a 36" bed, but was easily adjusted down to the 34 1/2" bed.

It has a manually driven chain drive that can be adjusted to get rid of play. It has a manual mechanism to limit the depth of cut per pass (by holding the "stylus" away from the pattern). The bit provided is very effective, allowing a much deeper cut than might initially appear possible, since cuts a shoulder in either direction. You cannot create 90 degree "coves", since the bit is wedge shaped (no other shape seems possible), so you wind up with a bit "softer" result. I have made several 4x4 spindles from Fir, that look quite nice after moderate sanding.

The tool rattles when roughing out, and I find that is faster to do with a gouge.

It is heavy duty and seems sturdy. The parts to adapt it to the lathe bed are very sturdy, but unpainted, making them appear home brewed.

It is pretty unlikely you would need a larger duplicator than this, and the price is quite reasonable for what you are getting. ... Read more

Creating a beautiful table leg on a lathe is a joy. But creating three more absolutely identical to it is a daunting task. But here comes a tool that will do it for you. After initial assembly, which is kind of detailed, you'll be ready to copy anything you can turn. It's imperative to follow the setup directions exactly (and the video is more help than the written directions), because if you're off even a fraction of an inch in your initial setup, you're assuring yourself of errors. After that, though, using it is just as much a joy as turning the original piece. Don't dismiss it as diminishing the art of the craft, either, because the duplicator can be controlled by hand. There are a number of accessories, too, that we like, including the spiral attachment and the router bracket, which easily lets you create fluted contour pieces. It's easy to use and, we admit, fun, too. And it will turn out as many copies of your original piece or any template for years to come. We think it's the perfect investment for the serious turner or furniture builder.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

Nicely Done
....I find that this is a very nicely engineered tool. It is easyto set up after watching the video, though the written instructionsare poor. Some of the non-essential parts are poorly machined, but this does not effect their performance, just their asthetics. I would recommend this tool for anyone who would like a duplicator regardless of the lathe that you own. With a little help from Vega and Amazon, my duplicator fit my vintage Oliver lathe perfectly. ... Read more

Really a good chuck but ...
The chuck is really well made and the wrench moves the jaws very smoothly. Unfortunately I have to return it. Not because the chuck has any faults, but rather because the description and the professional reviewer failed to tell me that the jaws are adjusted individually, rather than concentrically with one turning of the wrench. Now that's a good feature if you are working with blanks that need that. But my needs were stricly for round concentric bowl use, and I wanted to be able to ensure the bowl blank was centered with one tightening operation. The picture shows the T-wrench and one adjustment socket. No hint that the chuck has independent adjustments. By the way, the Delta label on the box indicates the independent adjustment. So should Amazon's description.

So, if that's what you need, it is a solid product, just what you'd expect from Delta. That's why I gave it 4 stars. Couldn't give it 5 without actually using it, and since I'm returning it, I couldn't do that. ... Read more

Product Description

The Cole jaws are a very versatile set designed primarily for the re-chucking of bowls to remove chuck marks or to re-shape the bottom of bowls that have already been turned. There is also provision to mount the 50mm, Step, and 100mm jaws onto the Cole jaws which enhances their use considerably. All the facilities of the other jaw sets can be fully utilised in conjunction with the Cole jaws. These jaws more than any other really begin to explore the tremendous versatility of the Nova Chuck. A special woodworm screw (optional) can be used for initial bowl mounting. With this combination of holding methods, it is possible to turn a bowl from rough blank to a completely finished smooth bowl with just this one jaw set. The Nova Chuck Cole jaw combination is the only chucking system to allow such a complete facility without any complex jaw changes or different set ups. There are a number of re-chucking options; false wooden jaws can be added, wooden dowels used or rubber stoppers which are provided with the basic kit. ... Read more

• Full size Cole Jaws - holds bowls up to 10"
• Fits Original Nova, Supernova, Titan, and Midi chucks.
