  • Page 11: Fitting Chuck To Lathe

    Correct fitting of chuck to lathe spindle is important to ensure accuracy. The chuck body must contact an accurate shoulder on the lathe spindle or bearings (as on Teknatool Nova 3000) to ensure chuck will run true. There can be a wide variety of lathe spindle thread and spigot dimensions even within the same thread size.
  • Page 12: Mounting The Jaws

    MOUNTING JAWS The standard SuperNova Chuck is provided with either 50mm or 75mm add-on jaws. They need to be located and screwed on to the jaw slides of the chuck. The same procedure outlined below must be followed for all accessory jaws as well. IT IS IMPORTANT TO LOCATE JAWS PROPERLY IN THE JAW SLIDES FOR THE CHUCK TO FUNCTION ACCURATELY.
  • Page 13: Dovetail Operation

    shanks are aligned to the jaw slides and close jaws around it. BEFORE FINAL TIGHTENING MAKE SURE THAT THE FRONT OF THE BOSS SECTION OF THE SCREW IS SEATED BEHIND AND AGAINST THE 50mm JAWS. This will prevent any tendency for the boss section to creep forward when the screw is being used.
  • Page 14: Forming Recess

    For smaller lids and thin platters (not exceeding 150mm diameter) only a shallow recess of around 3mm (1/8 inch) is necessary. It will be a matter of gaining experience as to what combinations and sizes will suit best. FORMING RECESS The jaw dovetail has been designed for use with a standard skew scraper.
  • Page 15: Spigot Operation

    SPIGOT OPERATION This is where the jaws contract around a wooden spigot for grip. This function is mainly for box, goblet and vase turning, that is, end grain items with a fair degree of overhang. This situation is one of the most difficult to provide secure holding no matter what fixing method is used.

  • Page 21 Re-grease the scroll ring and pinions; be very generous with grease application.
