step jaws

[Dave Fritz]

Oneway makes an internal step jaw but I have a Nova chuck and it doesn't look like they have one.

I want to use the chuck inside a 1 inch hole but have it far enough away that I can turn right to the top. Would the oneway long nose jaw or the 1 inch pin jaw be the better choice? I'm afraid the long nose jaw would be too big and the 1 inch pin jaw may not give me the room I'm looking for.

If anyone has experience with Nova II and their jaw sets I'd appreciate some feedback.

Thanks,

Dave F.

Not sure what you're after other than to fit and extend in a 1" hole. Nova pin jaws work fine. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d160/GoodOnesGone/2-Ash-Plate.jpg

Thanks Michael, I'll plan on getting a set.

The 25 MM bowl jaws have a very similar capacity as the pin jaws and a few bucks cheaper if you run across those.

Woodcraft has a Mini-Step Jaw they sell (for Nova). I believe that it's only available from them and only as a part of their Nova 4-Piece Mini Jaw set.

That being said, I've looked at them, and the regular Step Jaw sets, cutting the wood to use them would be well..

With the interior, using the largest "step" on the interior set, would require a deep "hole" on the inside of the object to clear the small and mid "steps"

The same is true for the exterior step set, but not as confusing.

That being said, I bought an exterior step and will probably be dumping it someday, as I never use it
