This is a very helpful video. I have a lathe that I recently purchased a chuck for it but wanted to make sure that I installed it safely and do all the different things about it. Thank you so much for posting this video.
Good information, Mike. I have the Nova G-3 and it has worked really well. I bought it because it was the only chuck I could find that was "reversible", meaning it has set screws to lock it onto my spindle. I have a 46-460 Delta lathe and I do run it in reverse to do somethings. I also have a very small Barracuda chuck that is simply terrific for some of the small work I do.
I do not use a set screw. I probably should but I reverse only for sanding and don't put much pressure on the piece and am careful to slowly increase the speed up or down.
I also recently bought the Nova G3 bundle that has three sets of jaws. I also recently bought the Delta 46-460 for the same reasons. I traded up by old lathe for capabilities that are better on the Delta, and the reverse sanding on the lathe is certainly a feature that is worthy of consideration.
Good information Mike. My first chuck was a Nova. I needed another set of jaws, and changing the Nova was a real pain. I decided that I would go with the Easy Chuck and invest in additional jaws instead of having several different chucks. BTW, I love my Easy Chuck.
Thank you very much this helps a beginner like my self now I’m off to measure my lathe to see what chuck I should use. Thank you.... oh and I subbed, very good teacher... thumbs up...
Hi Mike i am here in Australia and i bought a nova G3 chuck as i have a symtec lathe made in here in Australia back in the early 1980s and it works fine and do fine the lathe is a little under powered some times but its a great first lathe and i have a Laguna 18-36 coming in the new year and can't wait to turn some big bowls and platters from 10 to 18 inch dia. love your videos mike keep up the good work .cheers rob
Excellent video, Mike. I have several chucks. Three are Vicmarcs in three different sizes. They are my favorites. They just work and are a pleasure to work with. I also have two Record Power SC4. I like them almost as much as my Vicmarcs. If I'd purchased the Record Power chucks first, I may never have bought the Vicmarcs. As it is, I'm glad to have all five of them. I also own two 'house brand' chucks -- a Woodriver chuck from the local Woodcraft that I bought when I was in the middle of a project and needed a set of jaws I didn't have for my Vicmarcs (and couldn't wait for Craft Supplies USA to ship the jaws to me) and a chuck from Penn State that was too good a deal to pass up. The Woodriver chuck sits in a drawer. I've not used it in years. It got that one job done, but it's action was rough rather than smooth and I'll only use it when there is no other option. The Penn State chuck sits on the window sill of my shop reminding me not to buy anything from them again. I used it several times over the course of a couple of months. I was turning pepper mills for Christmas. Anyway, I noticed that the mills weren't aligning like they should. Investigating, I noticed that one of the chuck's jaws had bent outward. I was able to bend it back -- with my thumb!I called Penn State. Customer Service told me they'd noticed such quality issues and had switched makers of the chuck. Future purchasers or their chuck wouldn't face such problems. Me? I was out of luck. So, yea, there are differences between the top-tier chucks and the lesser ones.
Great video mate, I took good advice from my mate and wood turning mentor and purchased a Vicmarc chuck, he simply said you get what you pay for, he has many chucks and said the Chinese copies are good but they seem to have more slop in them!! Thanks for the awesome video, Merry Christmas :-)
You point out A very important safety concern by showing the fit of the jaws. Price l buy Vicmarc from Timberbits in Australia. Vicmarc chucks are made in Australia, Timberbits quite often have specials and the exchange rate is attractive
Thanks Mike. I have three chucks so that I don't have to change the Jaws. My Lathe has 10TPI, and my Club has 8TPI so I have one of the adaptors you talked about so that I can take my own chuck and bring my project home to finish if necessary. Merry Christmas and New Year to your family
Thank you for this very informative video, Mike... I bought a used delta 16-745 that was made in 2001. The previous owner bought a baracuda 2000 chuck... I have been using it for about 9 months and it is not turning smoothly, loose gears, ect... so I agree with you.... I am saving my money to buy a powermatic 3520C (almost there)... But i need a good chuck... I now know what to look for thanks to you....
i had a nova chuck for my jet 1624 (left over from a nova lathe) at first, but upgraded to a big vicmarc - turned for years with it, never needed any jaws other than the original that came with the chuck. very large min/max range for all types of turning. it was great.
They are a convenience and a great productivity aide, but if you are having fun turning between centers or learning alternative chucking methods like faceplates and glue blocks, all is good.
Awesome info! I'm newbee just bought Laguna Revo 12/16 yesterday not sure what size of chucks and threads for adaptor that futs to my Laguna, any suggestions? Thanks
Good information Mike thanks for tips. You mentioned a gauge to check tenon size maybe you can have a segment on types of gauges to make turning better.
As far as I know the Record Power SC3 is almost identical to a Nova G3 - in fact Record Power used to distribute Nova chucks in the UK (and Europe, I assume) with Record Power co-branding, I'm guessing they have some sort of shared arrangement to the design. Maybe there has been a split now though - either way the jaws seem to be interchangeable.
Thanks for the very informative discussion of chucks. I wish the manufacturers would specify the range of travel of the jaws. The Supernova2 as you mentioned has only a 3/4" travel range but the Oneway Stronghold chuck has a 2 1/4" travel range. So it takes 3 jaw sets for the Supernova2 to cover the range on the Oneway Stronghold. The additional jaws required for the Supernova2 to cover the 2 1/4" range of the Stronghold brings the cost of the Supernova2 nearly equal to the cost of the Stronghold. So I now have 3 Supernova2 chucks and 1 Stronghold chuck. You also recommend that the tenon should be cut to the optimum size for the jaws to be used. Imposing the chuck requirements on the design of the product to be turned is something I prefer to avoid. It seems to me that the compromised holding strength on a tenon that is not optimized for the chuck jaws is usually minimal. For example, reducing the diameter of a tenon by 3/4" to match the optimal size for the jaws substantially reduces the strength of the tenon and increases the torque on the tenon.
You raise some good points that were outside the scope of the video. How to best use a scroll chuck is a whole other video. I always remove the tenon or incorporate the wood into the foot of the piece being turned, for example on an expensive eoxtic used for a box. This usually requires reverse chucking with a jam chuck or vacuum. I would never just leave the tenon on the piece with marks on it and the hole from the live center. I think I said in the video I don't find the difference in the scroll travel to be an issue for me. I know what size tenon I want to make. and make it that size so not a problem.
Hello. My english is not good, but i have a problem and perhaps you can help me Sir. I bought a Woodman TC1100, and i have a chuck with M18. Now i have two problems:First: What size have the spindel of Woodman TC1100? I think, but i'm not sure, it's 1'' 8 th. And, second: Where can i get from a adaptor for the Woodman spindel (female) to M18 (male), so i can use my chuck with M18? Thank you in advance! disber.com/en/producto/torno-tc-1100/
Don't take me wrong,I was raised in union household. I have a 1930'S craftsman made by atlas press company. It has a 3/4 #1 morse taper shaft but it does have a indexed cone pulley it cost me 50.00 with 6 chisels one was a d r Bartow 1880's
I was at a woodworking show not long after Robust came out with their lathes. The owner of Robust formerly worked as a Toolmaker's. I did Toolroom work for 30+ years. I asked how come no wood lathes where built so that they could use metal working collets and fixturing. Simply because they are much more robust (pun intended). He said that one reason was cost. Bigger bearings, bigger headstocks and so forth. He also said the average wood turner wouldn't know what to do with them. From the other end I've considered in the past just how usable one of the better Wood Chuck's would be for lighter duty metal working. Especially with soft jaws instead of the ones that come with the Chuck's. But then that means making adaptors and such.
I don't know much about metal work.My work with cutting wood threads with a a jig I bought, one I made and hand chasing leads me to believe wood does not require the precision of metal working. 4 jaw scroll chucks were common when I started turning. I love my Apprentice collet chuck system too. For small work. Maybe you have seen that video ruclips.net/video/WxM44TD0dRY/видео.html
@@MikePeaceWoodturning Well that looks quite nice. I had an Elgin Second Op machine I intended to use either as a small turret lathe or as a mini sized wood lathe www.lathes.co.uk/elgin/index.html but alas that plan didn't come to furition
my nova she is if i am purchasing thread from usa it is 1 1/4 x 8 and if purchasing within my home country Australia which i then use m30 x 3.5 and both do fit no hassles on my nova. juat thought i would share to help you
I have a supernova2 with an insert for my 1-1/4x8tpi lathe. When I tighten the grub screw to use it in reverse, I get significant wobble. Without the grub screw, it runs true. Have you experienced anything like this?
No. I am wondering if the chuck is registered against the face of the lathe spindle with no gap. There should be no gap. This can happen on some lathes with too long a spindle or the threads are not cut deep enough and the chuck locks before registering.
Sir, I have an "unpopular" Supper Shop. very heavy and supposed to be good for woodturning. It is designed with R8 tapered collets. Do you know if they make a collet with threads to be used for a woodchuck .. I could chuck wood if I had one. I've never turned wood and it looks like hours of fun !!
Not familiar with the lathe but found some forum posts by googling supershop wood lathe. You might explore that route for information. My suggestion, for what it is worth, would be to try and use it within its current parameters for some spindle projects and see how it goes. If you decide you like woodturning you will want a better wood lathe soon. I would not invest any money in it. If it does not have a standard spindle thread you will be hard pressed to turn larger projects or crossgrain projects like bowls. Good luck.
Sorry my explanation of lathe spindle size and chuck inserts was not clear enough for you. There are different Nova chucks some requiring inserts and some direct threaded a certain size. All Jets do not have the same spindle size. What model Jet do you have?
Is there a standard size drive shaft. My older Craftsman lathe has a 3/4" x 16 threaded shaft I'd like to buy a chuck for..any suggestions appreciated. Thanks...Just found an old style AMD 3/4" x 16 on Ebay. Should clean up nicely.
Most mini lathes have a 1"x8 spindle. Most modern large lathes have larger spindles 1 1/4" x 8. Several Chuck brands offer your size adapter for older hobby lathes .
@@mtmals9786 kinda late but you might want to check out Penn State Industries. They offer a good selection of chucks at a reasonable price. They come with several jaw sets and all jaws are interchangeable with the different chucks. I have a mini lathe with the 3/4X16 spindle. PSI's chucks are for the most part are 1X8 but come with an included 3/4X16 adapter. It works very well for me as I also have a midi lathe with 1X8 TPI. Just depends which lathe I use.......
@@jamesmoore3346 Used to drive past MLCS in Huntington Valley and stop in after work sometimes. They sell a lot of Penn State INds products. Good stuff.
What model do you like for laguna 1216? I plan to use in board and outboard options on this lathe. I am asking because I dont want the barraccuda that has been recommended by a friend, but I also dont want to buy the laguna lathe if I dont which chuck to buy
Almost never. Sometimes Teknatool will have a sales package. A chuck makes things faster and easier but you can do almost everything with a faceplate. Not a bad way to get started.
I have my chucks. I use the Nova Chuck, face plate and a worm screw. They suit my needs for now as I'm a novice. The problem that I'm having is tools and tool rests. I have a harbor freight lathe ( which serve my needs for now) and their tool set. The lathe is nice but the tools.... well... ummm... how to say this??.. They suck. I can't hollow out a bowl or cup of any real depth without catching and gouging the insides. ( and sometimes the outside ). Can you suggest a decent tool set that doesn't break my bank?
You don't need another set assuming you have one of the HSS sets from HF with brass ferrules and not the supercheap carbon steel set. I would start with a 3/8 or 1/2" bowl gouge bar(US not British measurement). You could make do with a Benjamin Best but if you are in it for the long haul with plans to upgrade your lathe, consider getting a better one from Doug Thompson or Robert Sorby without a handle and make a handle. I would replace the round bar spindle gouge next with a quality 3/8. Another option is to make do with a good 1/2" spindle gouge and use it on bowls as well as spindles. Richard Raffan does this.
Looking for a new hobby. I'm a fire fighter with a 1.5 yo so I'm on a budget lol.. What would be a good lathe to start off with for pen turning or turning small bowls. Thinking of looking for a used one on Craigslist. Is there anything i should look for or stay away from?
Jet makes good mini or midi lathes. A used lathe is good is good. No Craftsman lathes. An older spindle lathe may be ok if the price is right and all of the major componenets are there. Sometimes a used lathe can come with a chuck which is an expensive accessory when first starting. Joining a club can generate leads you would not otherwise get as many lathes are sold by word of mouth within a club to new turners.
Good video as always Mike. What is the difference between Pin jaws and Pen jaws? I was looking through a catalog a while back and they had the name of both types but didn’t give an explanation or have pictures. If I remember correctly it was a price list. Sorry, I don’t remember the name of the company. They had two different part numbers. Thanks Mike. Ron
Excellent video Thank you. Do they make an inexpensive 1”-8TPI Chuck 3 jaw (I’m using a smaller king, 12x18 wood lathe) with a knurled tensioner. I’m just turning cork fishing rod grips and be nice to not have to need a and always be looking for a chuck key
I do not know of any three jaw chucks for woodturning. Have you considered a collet chuck? Here is a review of the one I use. ruclips.net/video/WxM44TD0dRY/видео.html

Ok. Thank you. I liv on the canary island. Just one last question: Does it exist two types of inches? Because, far as i know is 1'' 2,54 cm. But here on the island (la Gomera) is 1'' 3,2 cm. Is it possible?
In the US. all new mini or midi lathes have a 1" x8tpi spindle. Larger lathes like my Powermatic 3520 have a 1 1/4" x 8tpi. I hope this answers your question.

PSI's chucks are for the most part are 1X8 but come with an included 3/4X16 adapter. It works very well for me as I also have a midi lathe with 1X8 TPI. Just depends which lathe I use.......
@@jamesmoore3346 Used to drive past MLCS in Huntington Valley and stop in after work sometimes. They sell a lot of Penn State INds products. Good stuff.
What model do you like for laguna 1216? I plan to use in board and outboard options on this lathe. I am asking because I dont want the barraccuda that has been recommended by a friend, but I also dont want to buy the laguna lathe if I dont which chuck to buy
Supernova2 or Record Power SC4
The SC4 is also available at Craft Supplies www.woodturnerscatalog.com/p/100/6477/record-power-SC4-Chuck
I’m starting out. Does a lathe typically come with a chuck? I don’t expect the tools but I’m just trying to gauge expenses for now
Almost never. Sometimes Teknatool will have a sales package. A chuck makes things faster and easier but you can do almost everything with a faceplate. Not a bad way to get started.
Only 3 country's not using the metric system U.S., Liberia and Myanmar
Sad isn't it? Not very rational.
I have my chucks. I use the Nova Chuck, face plate and a worm screw. They suit my needs for now as I'm a novice. The problem that I'm having is tools and tool rests. I have a harbor freight lathe ( which serve my needs for now) and their tool set. The lathe is nice but the tools.... well... ummm... how to say this??.. They suck. I can't hollow out a bowl or cup of any real depth without catching and gouging the insides. ( and sometimes the outside ). Can you suggest a decent tool set that doesn't break my bank?
You don't need another set assuming you have one of the HSS sets from HF with brass ferrules and not the supercheap carbon steel set. I would start with a 3/8 or 1/2" bowl gouge bar(US not British measurement). You could make do with a Benjamin Best but if you are in it for the long haul with plans to upgrade your lathe, consider getting a better one from Doug Thompson or Robert Sorby without a handle and make a handle. I would replace the round bar spindle gouge next with a quality 3/8. Another option is to make do with a good 1/2" spindle gouge and use it on bowls as well as spindles. Richard Raffan does this.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning I have both sets. The two that you showed in your HF review.
Looking for a new hobby. I'm a fire fighter with a 1.5 yo so I'm on a budget lol.. What would be a good lathe to start off with for pen turning or turning small bowls. Thinking of looking for a used one on Craigslist. Is there anything i should look for or stay away from?
Jet makes good mini or midi lathes. A used lathe is good is good. No Craftsman lathes. An older spindle lathe may be ok if the price is right and all of the major componenets are there. Sometimes a used lathe can come with a chuck which is an expensive accessory when first starting. Joining a club can generate leads you would not otherwise get as many lathes are sold by word of mouth within a club to new turners.
Mike Peace Woodturning ok, thank you so much for responding and the advice.
I have a harbor freight 12 x 36 lathe which Chuck should I buy
Teknatool G3 or SN2 are frequently on sale.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning thanks man
Good video as always Mike.
What is the difference between Pin jaws and Pen jaws? I was looking through a catalog a while back and they had the name of both types but didn’t give an explanation or have pictures. If I remember correctly it was a price list.
Sorry, I don’t remember the name of the company. They had two different part numbers. Thanks Mike.

Answer to that and more in this video on jaws ruclips.net/video/JMV5riRog-Q/видео.html
Excellent video Thank you. Do they make an inexpensive 1”-8TPI Chuck 3 jaw (I’m using a smaller king, 12x18 wood lathe) with a knurled tensioner. I’m just turning cork fishing rod grips and be nice to not have to need a and always be looking for a chuck key
I do not know of any three jaw chucks for woodturning. Have you considered a collet chuck? Here is a review of the one I use. ruclips.net/video/WxM44TD0dRY/видео.html
I have a spur center but I don't know how to find the size I will need for a 4 jaw chuck or a face plate, can someone help
What lathe and model? Also measure the spindle and count the threads in one inch.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning It says CTT 099, MC-1000
@@MikePeaceWoodturning I've counted the threads and there are 8 but when I measured from the end of the shaft to the end of the thread it isn't 1"
@@MikePeaceWoodturning from the end of the shaft to the end of thread is .738, OD is .700

mini chuck ,I processing。
Hello. My english is not good, but i have a problem and perhaps you can help me Sir. I bought a Woodman TC1100, and i have a chuck with M18. Now i have two problems:
First: What size have the spindel of Woodman TC1100? I think, but i'm not sure, it's 1'' 8 th. And,
second: Where can i get from a adaptor for the Woodman spindel (female) to M18 (male), so i can use my chuck with M18?
Thank you in advance! disber.com/en/producto/torno-tc-1100/
Not sure what country you are in. In the USA, Craft Supplies, Penn State industries. Or Amazon.
Ok. Thank you. I liv on the canary island.
Just one last question: Does it exist two types of inches? Because, far as i know is 1'' 2,54 cm. But here on the island (la Gomera) is 1'' 3,2 cm. Is it possible?
In the US. all new mini or midi lathes have a 1" x8tpi spindle. Larger lathes like my Powermatic 3520 have a 1 1/4" x 8tpi. I hope this answers your question.
Ok. Thank you.

What about it?
