Chuck identification

[qquake]

Does this look like a Nova G3 chuck? I bought it several years ago, but can't remember what it is or where I bought it. I'm looking at buying some blank drilling jaws for it.

I don't think it is a G-3. I have a couple of them and the chuck keys are different and the lines on the chuck are not the same.

If you remove all of the jaws it would be stamped on the face "Made in New Zealand" That would be a "Super Nova" chuck. The jaws that you linked to will fit.

It looks a lot like a Oneway Talon chuck ... edit: though I'm leaning more towards the original SuperNova chuck, based on the shape of the spindle adapter insert (hex) and the multiple grooves around the diameter of the chuck body.

You're right, there are some minor differences. But I'm relatively certain that it is a Nova chuck of some sort.

Yep, it looks like it's a SuperNova chuck. Thanks guys.

If you have a Woodcraft store near you, then you can get those pen plus jaws for $33 and change since all Nova products are 15% off this month.

I saw that, but the local Woodcraft isn't that local. It was easier to just order them from Amazon.

Long time no see Jim good morning over here.

Kind regards Peter.

Hey Peter, how are you? I've actually been launching a lot of rockets, since the drought ended. But rocket season is over, so back to some pens.
