As a valued customer, we would be pleased to hear from you and how you found your SuperNova. Any comments on the chuck or accessory ideas would be very welcome so that we can continue to offer what we believe is the best woodturning chucking system available. -
Page 3: Safety Rules
As with other chucking methods, an extremely cautious and sensible approach is necessary. With the SuperNova Chuck it is not possible to give exact directions as to the amount of tightening pressure required for workholding. Follow closely strict guidelines in this manual for different jaw types on wood blank diameters and length, plus turning speed. -

Page 6: Mounting Chuck On Lathe
MOUNTING CHUCK ON LATHE There are two versions of the SuperNova Chuck: an insert version for all threads up to 27mm (1 1/8”) and threaded versions for dedicated threads up to 38mm (1 1/2”). CORRECT MOUNTING OF CHUCK TO INSERT (WITH INSERT VERSION) AND LATHE SPINDLE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ACHIEVE ACCURACY. - Page 7 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.

Page 10: Dovetail Operation, Forming Recess
PREPARATION: The 10.5mm thread requires a drilled hole about 8mm (5/16”) in diameter. The screw has considerable holding power and it is sometimes difficult to unscrew, so wax or oil the thread before mounting the wood. CARE: The threads are fine and can be damaged by mishandling. DON’T hammer into wood! DO screw into a pre-drilled hole. -
Page 11: Spigot Operation
Before scraping out the recess, slightly hollow out the centre of the bowl blank with a bowl gouge or round nose scraper. The purpose is to relieve the centre so that when the recess is scraped out only half the chisel edge needs to be used. We recommend this to reduce tearing of the wood by scraping action;... -
Page 12: Trouble Shooting Guide
Make sure the bottom of the recess is flat and square to face. See mounting dovetail operation Page 10. Check that the bowl is not incorrectly riding on the flat shoulder of jaws behind the dovetail.
