lathe chuck
Bill Buck
>Hello; I'm new to turning and bought a Nova Mercury mini on a recommendation. I want to buy a chuck and thought the Oneway scroll chuck would be a good one to start on. After I learn some of the basics I want to buy a full size lathe, something on the order of a Stubby.
Your input on the chuck would be appreciated.
Thanks Bill
For a mini...

2 each for the Vicmarc and 1 each for the Nova.
I guess I will look into those two brands instead of the Oneway sroll chuck.Regards,

>I certainly wouldn't overlook the Oneway Talon in my comparison. Small, light, key-operated, insert to permit use on other machines. Excellent grip with Oneway's profiled jaws.

I just ordered one for my classes. $67.99 + shipping sounded like a good deal.
