Pin Jaw Set Code: JSPIN These special 25mm extended jaws are designed to act like a pin chuck - expanding into a pre-bored hole. This is a useful technique for free form edge bowls. The real advantage though is you don’t have to bore an exact size as with pin jaws. The longer jaws allow for a very powerful spigot grip for smaller work like lace bobbins etc. It also has a small dovetail to mount small bowls. Step Jaw Set Code: JS75N Designed primarily to grip footed bowls in the contracting mode.

NOVA Titan Chuck Exploded View Mounting the Titan Chuck on a Lathe CORRECT MOUNTING OF CHUCK TO LATHE SPINDLE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ACHIEVE ACCURACY. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE CHUCK IS NOT USED ON LATHE SPINDLES UNDER 1in (25mm) diameter. FITTING CHUCK TO LATHE Correct fitting of chuck to lathe spindle is important to ensure accuracy. The chuck body must contact an accurate shoulder on the lathe spindle or bearings to ensure chuck will run true.
8. Chuck jams on lathe spindle This is a common problem with fixtures on a lathe. Use piece of wood & knock against base of pinion gear in anticlockwise direction to jar loose from spindle. To help prevent it try a plastic or fibre washer between insert/chuck and spigot shoulder of a spindle. Use of washer could affect accuracy. 9. Woodworm screw creeps forward or is not seated properly in chuck Make sure woodworm screw boss is placed correctly between jaw slides and behind jaws.
Troubleshooting Guide Problem 1. Chuck jams when partially threaded onto spindle. 2. Chuck body appears not to be true 3. Add on jaws do not run true 4. Jaw Slides closed to centre and No. 1 slide stays in centre when jaws are expanded again 5. Chuck very stiff to operate or jammed 6. Jaw Slides when Wound to centre do not meet 7. When chuck is being removed from spindle the body unwinds from insert Possible Cause and Solution Check chuck body threads are free from damage.
SCREW DEPTH: The screw provides 19mm (3/4 inch) of thread beyond the PowerGrip jaws. With all wood blocks over 150mm (6 inches) in diameter the full thread depth of 19mm should be used. Irregular, rough tree blanks (e.g. small sections of tree limbs) not exceeding the above sizes can be held quite firmly BUT caution must be exercised. Check for adequate contact. CAPACITY: DO NOT USE THE SCREW FOR VERY LARGE WOOD BLANKS. Its use is intended for small bowl and screw chucking work.
Maintaining the Titan Chuck General Maintenance CLEANING CHUCK: The Nova Titan Chuck is perfectly enclosed from behind which makes the gearing mechanism maintenance free over a long period of time. However the chuck needs to be inspected periodically for build up of wood dust in the jaw slide area on the front side. Wood dust build up can make the jaws difficult to move. To clean out the wood dust build up, the following method can be used. Remove Jaw Slides.
to relieve the centre so that when the recess is scraped out only half the chisel edge needs to be used. We recommend this to reduce tearing of the wood by scraping action; and to make the recess a little more finished to give a better effect to the overall bowl. Extra embellishments can also be made to the recess to enhance the bowl. After the recess is finished and the outside of the bowl is turned to shape, wind bowl back off screw. Bowl blank is now ready to be reversed into the jaws.
