Original Nova and Super Nova....

>Are the jaw attachments for these chucks interchangable?

I own the Original, and notice that it's disappearing from the catalogs. If I buy jaw attachments for the Super, will they fit the Original?

Thanks.

>Brian -- Yes ! They are, and we are told, always will be interchangeable. I have both chucks in my shop right now. You can also use the Nova/SuperNova jaws on the new Titan, but there are large jaws designed for the Titan that will not fit the other chucks. This is because the larger Titan jaws have 3 screws per jaw slide, instead of 2.

BTW, the new SuperNova2 is a real nice chuck -- much better than the first generation SuperNova. The T-bar to operate the scroll is much, MUCH better on the newer design.

>Brian,

Yes, they do. I have both in my shop and move jaws around however I need them.

I also have Oneway Mini-Jumbo jaws that fit my SuperNova/Nova. Maybe someone will jump in here, but I think it is the Oneway Talon jaws that fit the SuperNova/Nova chucks.
