>Sorry, the SuperNova has the same problem. I use the 50 and 100mm jaw sets most and regularly make tenons that fall in the range between them (about 70-75mm). So Teknatool come out with a 75mm jaw set - great! Wrong again - the 75mm jaws have a much wider top surface than the others and consequently have a compression range very close to that of the 50mm jaws! Aaaargh! Does anyone know of a jaw set that will comfortably cover the range 65-75mm, for *either* the SuperNova or the Axminster Precision?

For the Cole jaws, I made a set of MDF rings I could mount to them and if necessary turn to whatever diameter I needed. Then I went vacuum and almost never use the Cole jaws.
