Woodcraft sells a reasonably priced set of flat jaws: Woodriver flat jaws

Unfortunately no one at the store can tell me what chucks they fit on. "Rikon?" was they reply I got.

Does anybody here know if I can use them on a: Oneway Stronghold, Oneway Talon, or a Vicmarc 120?

Thanks

They are obviously made to go with their Woodriver chuck, one of many to come out of China.
You would be much better off buying the Oneway set.
One word of warning: NEVER operate jumbo jaws without tightening the set screw to prevent the chuck from unwinding.
Even a low speeds, the flywheel effect will unscrew the chuck +jumbo jaws when you stop the lathe. A couple of weeks ago
I needed to put a centre point on the bottom of a bowl. So I mounted it in my jumbo jaws and as I would only be running the lathe
for a few seconds at 200rpm, I didn't bother tightening that screw. As a result the chuck unscrewed and went flying across the shop.
