I am sorry that I cannot answer your question directly. However, I have read numerous posts on this site that suggest that PSI's email response is chronically slow and poor overall. I have also read here that their phone response is first rate, so I would suggest you call them for prompt information. Perhaps others will know and can tell you here.
 
in a word... NO.
Those jaws are way to small to work on any Nova chuck. I have owned a PSI chuck and a now own a Nova Midi. The screw size is smaller for the PSI over the Nova. so with that I say NO.

Good Luck
 
I am searching on our site as we speak because I think that this question was asked not too long ago. I have the Nova G3 and by the looks of the CJAWPEN it should work but I cannot tell the distance apart for the screws and if the total width would be too much. If I can find the post I will post it on here for you.


Here is the answer that I found (surprised myself) Read this and I hope that it helps.

The screw hole distance is very different between the Nova and PIS chucks. This will not work on the Nova chucks without serious modification.

The good news is that you can usually find Nova Pin jaws for around $35 -$40 with free shipping on Amazon dot com.
 
There is a better option:
buy the Pin Jaws (long Ping Jaws) and you can use your chuck
as a drilling Chuck

i was going to buy this Drilling chuck but using my inexpensive Wood river chuck form woodcraft in combination with the long ping jaws there is no nee to buy a dedicated drilling chuck

Hi all, could someone please tell me if PSI's pen drilling jaws part no CJAWPEN will fit onto a Nova G3 chuck. I have sent 3 emails to them and still no reply.:frown:

I realise that the barracuda chuck is different. PSI state that it will fit their "C" series chuck and was wondering if the "C" series was in fact a Nova.
Could anyone tell me the hole centers for the CJAWPEN please, as I might be able to modify my chuck to make it fit as the price of Nova Jaws is about $60+ here plus postage, being on a pension money is tight, someone told me I could end up with a small fortune, but I forgot to ask did I need a large fortune to start off with.

the screw sizes are different and the spacing is different between the Nova and PSI barracuda series. There will be no happyness in Whoosville trying to make a conversion with safety unless you have a pretty well equipped machine shop. (I have both chucks)

Pin jaws on the Nova are a good value will do most things you need, especially if you turn odd shaped pieces between centers to start (that way you get the center of the pattern desired -- at the center) and turn a small tenon with shoulder for drilling on the lathe.
