If it's a Super Nova then it has a hex key and it's metric. Well at least mine is.

To my knowledge, Nova only has two styles of key, the one posted by Lin and the one for the G3 chuck (shown here). I pic of your chuck might be helpful, along with any part numbers printed on it.

The original SuperNova chuck did not have a hex key, it was a geared key. (The SuperNova2 has a hex key.)

It looks like replacements are not available from Teknatool -- LINK to an FAQ that discusses this and the other 2 geared chucks they make (and the fact that the handles are not interchangeable.)

Down the bottom of that page (follow the link!) it says that a matching key is -- or was -- available from a company in New Zealand .

You might be able to find one on eBay, but it's probably better just to buy a chuck for which the key is readily available.

Searched after you posted before. It would appear that there have not been any available since 2008. However there is a company in NZ or Aus that will make you one for $50.00US plus $40.00 for shipping. If you don't want to pay that much let me know if you would like to sell yours to me

Go dig around in industrial machine reseller shops. Or old school hardware stores. The resellers usually have a bin of parts and bits for various machines, you might score a key of the right size. My local hardware store also deals with such stuff, and it would be the first place I try for weird hardware pieces. You might have a similar style store near you.

Where are you located? I have an extra one you can have for FREE, just help with shipping if over $5

This is what I have, it's what came with my Nova3. I purchased a few chucks, so I would not have to constantly switch out the jaws. I also have a spare set of the included 50mm jaws.
