Putting Jaws on a Nova 2 Chuck

Stu

Some people here know how to work with Wood and Metal!

I'm still learning to work with wood!

I'll get the proper insert somehow

Problem solved

Just got an email from Roger Durst at Craft Supplies USA
http://woodturnerscatalog.com/

He is getting the proper insert and will send it on and I can exchange the old one. He said go ahead and use it, just don't run the lathe in reverse!

Nice dealing with people that solve problems for you!

Yep, Roger is a nice guy. I just bought something across the counter from him last week. He's the official "lathe man" at Craft Supplies. We had our woodturning club meeting in their classroom building this month, and he kept the showroom open a little longer than usual so we could get our too-infrequent "fix". Kinda sad to see the open pizza box behind the counter though....

I wish I had remembered to ask him about a source for good replacement bearings for my Delta Midi...

Yep, I know that Jay, I do mainly because I have to, and I can....



OK, here is the Nova G3 chuck, the insert has the locking screw!


The Nova Titan Chuck, the insert does NOT have a locking screw


Titan insert in the DP vice ready to drill


Drilled a smaller pilot hole


Drilled a 5mm hole to then thread


Threading the 6mm threads for the locking screw


Insert reinserted, and locking screw in place


Titan chuck on the lathe, with locking screw.

That took maybe 20 minute, including taking the pics, MUCH easier for me to do than send it back to the US and wait for the exchange insert.

Cheers!

Man........... now I've got to start equipping a mini metal shop in the wood shop

Nice job!

Well, all that took was a decent drill press, Oh yeah, I forgot to thank Kermit........
