The G3 should come with the 50mm jaws and the pin jaws work quite well on pepper mills.

The G-3's do go on sale at Woodcraft a couple times a year. They do come with a 50mm set of jaws and a worm screw. Buy one now if you can find one on sale or do a google search for rebuilt ones. Then next time they go on sale with one of the jaw sets you buy that too. I use my extra chuck for the cole jaws.
Here is the link for Teknatool and the rebuilt chucks are $89.00

You will probably use the pin jaws more than any other for what you plan on turning so they are a must have.

I have the same lathe, and bought the same Nova promotional set from Woodcraft. So far I've only used the pin jaws, but I like having them just in case I figure out how to use them!

The 35mm pin jaws are on my G3 chuck virtually full time, can't remember the last time I took them off.
Ideal for drilling pen blanks and doing custom finials etc.
I even use this chuck and jaws on my metal lathe when I need to grip square blanks etc, just grip it in my 3 jaw chuck, works a treat.
