>I have the SuperNova chuck & it is being used on a Powermatic 2032A lathe.

Is there a way to lock the chuck to the spindle for reverse turning?

>There is a set screw on the chuck. Make sure it is on the flat of the spindle ie, not on the threads.

>I have a super Nova chuck and the Titan . The insert on the Super Nova does not have a set screw. The Titan is newer and the insert has a screw. The set the Super Nova for reverce turning I just take a wrench and bump the insert clock wise"lightly". Works for sanding and light cuts.

I should be pretty easy to drill and tap a hole and insert a set screw. Chuck bodies are not hardened. If you need advice on how to do that e-mail me and I'll help. John
