I have recently changed my lathe to a Jet. I purchased a NOVA G3 chuck and a set of JSPIN pin jaws which I find are excellent for drilling blanks. I may get a pair of dedicated blank drilling jaws later but the set up I have at the moment is highly recommended.

No longer confused....
With the chuck you will need 2 additional things.

a faceplate ring: NOVA Faceplate Ring 2"
Cole jaws: NOVA Cole Jaw set

The faceplate ring is more precise than other faceplates that I have worked with also easier to use. Standard faceplates you have to remove the chuck, with the ring you just clamp it to the 2" jaws.

you don't "need" a chuck ring or cole jaws.

bowls can very easily be started between centers - first cuts either make a tenon or a recess.

reversing can be done with a jam chuck

You don't even 'need' a chuck, although the overwhelming majority use them.

Check out Lyle Jamieson's videos for a long time bowl turner who only uses glue blocks and between centers turning.
