hey everyone new woodturner here and i just started turning bowls and i am in need of advice on selecting a chuck for my lathe .I have narrowed it down to the supernova 2 and the record power sc3 [both in the 150.00 range]
my lathe is a coronet record power clc3 with 3/4 x 16 spindle {love the lathe }
my concern is if the supernova 2 will be to heavy for spindle
also if the record sc3 can handle 16" bowl it has heavier jaw slides than the novas and states it will handle all of records jaws ALSO ITS RIGHTY TIGHTY LEFTY LOOSEY
the record is also available with direct threading to my spindle i dont plan on upgrading and i have heard of people having trouble with inserts
any advice will be greatly welcomed
THANKS
