Replacement for old Nova chuck key

[Ken Hunter]

I have a couple old Nova chucks and the key broke. It seems the only replacements for sale these days come out of New Zealand for $154, more than the cost of a new chuck without the jaws. Does anyone know where I can from one or do you have one sitting around I can buy?

I guess if you find a Nova Chuck expert it will be easy, but listing the model of the chuck would sure help.

Older Nova Chuck Tool(key) Needed

Nova indicates that they no longer make this chuck or tool. Does anyone have one to sell?

Only 1 chuck uses that key, the original Nova Supernova. A company in England had a supply of them made of steel but they went out of business (they also did not ship to the USA). I had a friend there buy me one and he shipped to me. At the time of their shutdown I think they still had about a dozen or so left, what happened to those is anyone's guess. I'm pretty sure in the last year that I saw someplace that a turner made one for himself but cannot remember where I saw it.

If what broke is one of the cogs (teeth) on the head, perhaps you could have a welder add a few spots of weld and then file it back to the original shape.

Ken, I have an extra one. Will look for it and follow up with you. Also have an extra SN chuck for sale (with it's own key and extras) if you'd like.
