Nova G3 Chuck / Unboxing and Review

[@michaeldequatro1012]

Hey Paul. I'm 7 years late on watching this but that you very much. You're the only one who explained what that wood worming screw was for. I couldn't understand the directions. By the way, that chuck is now 170 bucks (I'm from the future) but you don't need the adapter. Thanks again.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Michael, I am happy that my video was helpful. That is quite a price increase over what I paid. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment.

[@forrestberg591]

Great video! Answered every question I had with no fluff. Thanks!

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Forrest, glad it helped. The Nova chuck has worked quite well for me. Thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to watch.

[@ringfry6816]

Really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. It was extremely helpful 🙏

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Ring Fry, I am glad that you found this video helpful. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

[@tomt9543]

I just bought a G3 today (1/2021), and it was threaded 1” - 8 TPI, no adapter needed! I guess maybe they’re offered in different threads now, although that’s all they had in the extensively well stocked woodworking store I was in. Very good review! I’ve seen your comments on other KZbin channels, but this is my first view of PMW!

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Tom T, when I ordered my G3 the only option I had was to order it with the adapter. It has worked very well so far. I can see where the regular thread that you need would be nice. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

[@tomt9543]

@@paulsmessyworkshop I’m playing catch-up to try to watch all your shows! Stay well!

[@jayj4142]

I just bought the Nova Pro-tek G3 for my Shopsmith machine. It cost a bit more, but includes three sets of jaws, so I guess it all works out. I enjoyed your video...thank you for making it.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Jay, You should have good luck with that chuck on the Shopsmith. Having it include three sets of jaws is a really good deal. Those jaws can be expensive. Thanks for the comment and for taking time to watch my videos.

[@Bunk599]

Thanks, very informative video on a topic of interest to me. Having been an engineer involved in manufacturing my entire career I would guess the adapter is not included to reduce the number of kits to be inventoried by Nova and the stores. Rather than having a different chuck kit for each of the adapter configurations the stores only have to stock the one chuck kit and sell the adapters separately. Saves them inventory costs which drives far more decisions than most people realize.

[@kristilbilyeu7682]

It looks like your video is a few years old, but it’s still a nice video showing how everything works. One comment you made that you’ve probably learned more about by now was your comment about them including an adapter with the kit. There are actually a couple of ways you can buy the chucks. One type chuck is a direct-fit chuck. It doesn’t require an adapter at all. The one I bought was made to directly fit a 1”8tpi thread, which is the thread size of my lathe. So I can just thread my whole one-piece chuck directly on my threads. The second type they make requires an adapter, which is the one you bought. The reason they don’t include an adapter is because there are different sizes of threads on lathes, and they have no way of knowing which lathe you have. So it’s easier for you to get the correct size adapter separately. You mentioned them upping the price and including the adapter-well, that’s basically what they did for the direct-fit chucks. Mine was about $160, but I didn’t have to buy an adapter 😀 One benefit to the chuck you bought vs a direct-fit is that if you ever decided to buy a different lathe that happened to have different sized threads on the headstock, you will still be able to use your chuck...you’d just need to buy a different adapter. For me, if I get a new lathe that does not have the 1”8tpi threads, the entire $160 chuck is useless on my new lathe. I just wanted you to know in case you haven’t discovered why the adapter was separate 😊 I also thought it would be a good comment for newbies who watch your video, to know there are different chucks that can be bought, if they were to read the comments. If you’re like me, I’m sure you love your G3 chuck, and you’re fully addicted to turning 😀

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Kristi, very good points. When I bought my chuck the only choice I had was to buy the chuck and the adapter. After I had it for a bit one of my listeners mentioned that it was available threaded without the need for the adapter. I don't know if I had the choice I did because of where I bought it (Home Depot) or if they came out with the one that didn't require adapter after I purchased mine. I must say that I have gotten quite a bit of use out of it and no regrets about purchasing it. Thanks so much for all your comments.

[@davidconaway2830]

I'm a newbie to lathes and their accessories. That said, I purchased the same chuck, wiped it down and assembled it according to the directions. I like the quality of the chuck and chuck tools. One surprise was the residual oil that was flung out on me and the wall. Unless you spray the chuck down with some type of cleaner, you may experience the same issue I had on the initial spin up.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

DCon, wow, your chuck had a lot more oil on it than mine did, I didn't have oil spinning out of it when I spun it up for the first time. Hope it didn't make too much of a mess. Hope you are as happy with your chuck as I am with mine. Thanks for watching and leaving the comment.

[@davidconaway2830]

I must be the lucky guy with the over oiled chuck;-) That said, I washed my shirt and wiped the wall...so no damage done. I do like the chuck and have used it several times now. Thank you for your reply.

[@pjenslin1]

I am in the hunt for a lathe and all accessories. Thnx for this informative video. I am interested in purchasing this particular chuck. Can't wait to get started!

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Philip, hope you enjoy your lathe. Be prepared for a bit of a learning curve but it is worth it. Lots of good videos out there to help you along. The Nova G3 Chuck is GREAT!!!

[@JamesLuginbyhl]

Thank you for the video. I bought the same chuck and pen jaws yesterday. Your video was very helpful.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

James, I hope you have as good as luck as I have with mine. It has performed flawlessly. I have also added a set of cole jaws for if and when I ever make a bowl. Thanks for watching and leaving the comment.

[@dancrandell3892]

Paul - I just unboxed a G3 myself. I found your video to be a very good supplement to the instructions included with the G3. I am a newbie turner and This is my first chuck purchase. Dan

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Dan, congratulations on you purchase. I am glad you found my video useful. Thanks for taking the time to watch my video and for leaving a comment. Welcome to the world of turning.

[@dancrandell3892]

thank you Paul..

[@hectorglover6392]

They could have also included the small blister pack of the anti-seize. I get one of those when i change the spark plugs in my gas engines. It would add nothing to the cost and would prevent the consumer from having to go out and buy the anti-seize. A very nice and informative video. Thank you!

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

I agree with you 100%. Even the smallest blister pack of anti-seize seems to last a lifetime, a little of that stuff goes a long way. It would be good customer service to either include it or pre-coat the threads with the stuff. Good idea. Thanks for taking the time to watch my video and to comment.

[@chadakaira]

Glad I watched this vid! I wasn't looking at the instructions and didn't know each jaw was numbered, I didn't need an adapter either since I bought the Wen lathe and the chuck was perfect for that.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

chadakira, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Yes, the chuck jaws are numbered to match their location on the chuck. Hope you enjoy using the Nova Chuck as much as I have. Thanks again for taking the time to watch and comment.

[@rickyholloway8220]

I am a novice wood worker. Thanks for the demo, for I sure did not know anything about what chuck to get. I believe I will get the Nova G3 for my ShopSmith V-B.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Ricky, I have been totally pleased with the Nova G3 chuck. So far it has performed flawlessly. Thanks for watching the video and for commenting.

[@RonBudman]

[@Charlesnsmile]

Thank you for this video grandpa! Very helpful. Take care :)

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

LOL, thanks Charles. I really like the G3 chuck, I appreciate the kind words.

[@MrMarkRoads]

The set screw is to make the chuck reversible. The direction of spin keeps the chuck on the adapter and the lathe.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Mark, I agree 100%. However, if you have a thread adapter the set screw secures the adapter to the chuck body. There is no set screw in the thread adapter to the threads on the head of the lathe. The included instructions say that extra caution must be used if the lathe is run in reverse. Thanks for watching and for your input and comment.

[@jimspencer1077]

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

John, turning is a lot of fun. There is a bit of a learning curve so don't get discouraged , give it a chance, before long you will be doing fine. The pen jaws work great. I have much better luck drilling pen blanks that way. Enjoy your new endeavor. Thanks for watching and leaving the comment.

Thank you very much for sharing. I am looking for a chuck and I found the G3 on Amazon.ca for $169.00 it comes with the chuck and the adapter the 2" jaws and the woodworm screw. I looked here for some more in depth info and came across your review. Very nicely done sir. Thank you very much again. I now know it's a good chuck but the price of the one I'm looking at is to high. I will continue to look for a cheaper price. Happy turning sir and keep videoing they are good.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

+Nathan Haynie - Nathan, thanks for watching my video. I am glad it was helpful for you.

[@130flyboy65]

Thanks for the great review! I have a Shopsmith that requires a different insert, and you are right, it sure would be nice to have it all together in one kit. I couldn't help but notice it looks like to loosen the chuck, you turn the pinion wrench clockwise, that's a little counterintuitive. Yet another good reason your review is so good. Thanks again!

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Thanks for watching my video and taking the time to comment. You are right, there is a bit of a learning curve to get used to turning the wrench the opposite way common sense would tell you. Hope you are able to get the threaded insert to use the chuck on your Shopsmith.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Another great video Paul. I love that chuck. The Nova chucks seem to be a quality unit and every one that I have seen has had a fantastic finish on it. I've never seen pen jaws like that before and I have to say that they are pretty neat. Nicely done on the drilling and perfectly centred on each end of the blanks. Impressive. One thing I found interesting about your video was that the rule of lefty loosy righty tighty doesn't seem to apply here. It looks like you have to turn the key clockwise to loosen the chuck and counter clockwise to tighten it. That might take some getting used to. Thanks for taking the time to post the video. Very helpful.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

+kennyearrings1 - Kenny, you are right, I have found myself turning the chuck key the wrong way more than once. Like I said in the video I purchased the chuck and the jaws on homedepot.com. I am lucky because my Visa card accumulates points for each dollar I spend and one of the things those points can be used for is to buy gift cards and Home Depot is one of the participating companies. A great deal. Paul

[@victorroy9721]

Nice chuck, i notice you left your chuck wrench on the chuck, I had e bad accident once the chuck flew across the room ,missing my face by inches, This was with my metal lathe I left the wrench on the chuck to inspect the part i was turning,and forgot about it,next thing,,pow.when i see a chuck wrench left on a chuck,i get goose pump all over from memory flash back..be safe.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Victor, WOW, good information. I watched the video again and saw what you had mentioned. I didn't even realize I had done that, thanks. I appreciate your watching the video and for the valuable comment....thanks again.

[@johnhuggins5021]

Hi Paul, I noticed you did not insert and tighten down the small set screw onto the lathe's headstock via the small hole on the chuck itself using the small set screw and the small rubber dot to prevent that set screw from directly contacting the headstock thread metal. Is it because your Nova G3 lathe chuck did not come with that little hole and set screw like mine did?

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

John, Thanks for contacting me. On my chuck I used an adapter to have it fit the threads on my lathe. That adapter is screwed into the chuck and secured with the fiber plug and allen set screw that you refer to. If you check my video that is shown at about 2:45 into the video. There is no plug or set screw that goes into the adapter. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

[@JoeRadose]

I just purchased my first lathe - and went with the Nova Comet 2 (through Home Deport, strangely enough). Part of the deciding factor was the fact that they come with the G3 chuck. The thread difference is probably a marketing attempt to get people to buy their lathes too, instead of just the chuck. Heck, it worked for me :) Nice video Paul. Thanks!

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Thanks for the taking the time to watch my video. Congrats on your new lathe purchase, hope you really enjoy it. Thanks for the information about the Nova Comet 2 chuck. Happy turning.

[@TimeToBeKind]

Too bad you didn’t share all the part numbers to help those who have the same Lathe. You’re actually using the same lathe as mine and you purchased the exact parts I need. Funny how 99% of the KZbinrs don’t think of it. Other than that, that’s a great video and thank you for sharing.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Tony, sorry for not including the information you needed. My Delta lathe has a 1" X 8TPI head stock so that is the adapter you would need. That information is also available by a Google search of your lathe. Thanks for watching my video and for leaving the great comment.

[@terry2346]

I have the elcelsior midi lathe sold by rockler and the chuck goes directly on it without any adaptor required. I was told all of the jet lathes are 1" and 8TPI and also fit directly on as well. I do see the notes below but just wanted to ad that mine works. :)

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

+Steve Carmichael - Thanks Steve, glad you enjoyed it. After I bought mine one of my viewers pointed out that the Delta brand which is just a re-branded G3 and also available at Home Depot.com is direct threaded for 1" x 8tpi. I didn't know that when I bought mine. See the remarks by Gerald Jensen.

[@huttarl]

Thank you for posting this helpful video. We just got a Nova G3, and my daughter and I have been trying to figure out how to attach it. At 2:45 you talked about the allen screw that goes in that hole and the little fiber wad that goes in there. But then you skipped showing that process! Please show us where the fiber wad goes. The instructions didn't say.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

huttari, on my chuck I had to use an adapter to get the correct thread size. After installing the adapter there is a hole in the thread area of the chuck where the set screw goes to lock the adapter in place. The fiber wad goes in the bottom of that hold and the set screw tightens against it. The wad prevents damage to the threads from the set screw. Thanks for watching and I apologize for the delay in gettng back to you.

[@huttarl]

@@paulsmessyworkshop Thanks, that's helpful! (I did damage the threads before I learned what the fiber wad was for.)

[@kansascrusader64]

Did you use the little red fiber washer mounting the chuck to the lathe or just on the adapter?

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

kansascrusader64, honestly.....I used it once I think, then I lost it. Haven't seen it since. So to answer your question, I don't use a fiber washer. Thanks for watching and for your question.

[@kevinyoungblut]

I just ordered my G3 from Amazon for $85 like someone else stated. One reason I bought this chuck is because of the insert. I need a 3/4 x 16 for my older Craftsman lathe but if I ever switch lathes I only need to change the insert not buy a whole new chuck.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Kevin, good point about if you change lathes you only need to change the insert of the chuck. That does make a lot of sense. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

[@superloyaljane4255]

Kevin Youngblut Keith my thread on my lathe is Thread size ¾” UNF, 16TPI so would this G3 not just screw on direct

[@kevinyoungblut]

R.I.P reddy 5/2/17 Dopey joins the circus I needed the adapter. I think it comes standard with 1" thread since that is pretty universal on newer machines. I bought my adapter used from Amazon. It was in the box and you would never know it was used except it was half price.

[@bluestarindustrialarts7712]

Word of caution here. You seem to have a Delta lathe, like I do. Mine has forward and reverse. The g3 chuck you are showing does NOT have spindle lock set screws such as the G3 D chuck which was made for Delta reversible lathes no adapter required. Do not run your lathe in reverse while using this chuck. It could spin itself loose.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

+Blue Star Industrial Arts - Thanks for the heads up. My lathe is not reversible so it is not an issue for me but I am sure this will apply to some that watch this video. Good catch and thanks a lot for the information.

I watched your video 3 times and I even took a screenshot hoping I could ZOOM-IN on the box and catch the part number. I’m not in front of the lathe to check the threads. Thank you 🙏 for the video... and Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.

Thank you Paul. I actually never bought a lathe until this one in hopes that I could conver it to a gun barrel restoration tool. I’ve been removing rust the old way, elbow grease. Though I claim to do everything by hand, I will now be cheating. 😂 LoL By the way, the kit I ordered does come with the right chuck, no adopter needed. It was the NOVA 30th Anniversary with a couple extra jaws for $129.00 even. Thanks to your video I thought of this, and though I have a milling machine, it’s useless for my application.

[@arturhanc8976]

Hello Paul. I'm writing from Poland. I discovered your YT channel. Thanks for the great Nova G3 review. I want to buy a Record Power Herald lathe. But they have SC grips there. I am asking for your short opinion about SC grips in comparison with Nova. Thank you very much and best regards. Arthur. I'm writing by translator. sorry.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Arturze, ja też korzystam z tłumacza, więc mam nadzieję, że wszystko będzie dobrze. Nigdy nie słyszałem o uchwytach SC przed twoją wiadomością, więc nie mam o nich wiedzy. Sprawdziłem je w Internecie i wydają się dość podobne do Nova Clamps. Wygląda na to, że jeśli są one związane z Record Tokarki, powinny być w porządku. Record tworzy dobry sprzęt. Powodzenia i dzięki za pytanie. Mam nadzieję, że udało mi się pomóc.

[@arturhanc8976]

Paul. Thank you for your answer. I also think that Nova and Record Power for example SC3, SC4 are very similar products. We have M33 × 3.5. I'm glad I found your Channel. There is a lot of inspiration in it. It's nice that you share your passion with others. Best regards from overseas. Arthur.

The first Nova chuck I bought was the one with the bars 48111 and it is nice. Then I got the Nova G3 chuck with the t handle. Both are excellent. I use the G3 chuck the most. I want to get the pen jaws someday too. I think there is a reason the pen jaws are sharp. Maybe someone has that answer?

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

dread cat. I really like the t handle on the Nova G3 chuck. I never have been a fan of "tommy bars" .

Vladimir, I guess I don't understand your question. If you are talking a out the thread on the insert that goes into the chuck I am not sure what the outside thread is. The inside thread is whatever you need to fit your particular lathe. In my case it was 1 inch 8tpi. Hope this helps. Thanks for taking the time to watch and ask your question.

[@MrBuddymo]

Gerald & Paul, there is one with 1" x 8tpi with the Nova brand (item 48231) but after talking with a Nova representative I decided to spend a little extra money and get the one that requires an insert. He gave a couple of reasons for this, but my main reason was that if I upgrade my lathe to one that has a different spindle, all I need is a new insert - not a new chuck. I just ordered my chuck today from Jet.com for $93.49 after my new customer discount. They didn't have the insert - I ordered one from Ebay for about $20. Nice video, Paul.

[@richardlafayette2161]

Hi Paul, this was the first time I have seen your show. I did learn a thing or two as some of the points you brought out I had not considered. I am new to wood working and don't know much about it. I am currently considering buying what I think you may have. That is the Delta 21.5 Midi lathe with variable speed, the information on line gives me to different RPMs ratings. One is 1725 RPM and down the page further it says 4000 RPMs could you tell me which it is or why the different max RPMs for the same machine? Also I am considering the Delta or the Nova chuck could you tell me why you chose the Nova? They are the same price. I was leaning told the Nove until you mentioned a 34 dollar adapter had to be purchased. Is it worth the differences. Do you know if the pin jaws can be purchased for the Delta chuck too? One more question do you know if a steady rest is made for wood lathes as they are for lathes that turns steel? That is the steel actual rides on rollers giving the steel extra support. Thank you for the video Richard

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Richard, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and I will try and help as I can. My lathe is in fact a Delta Midi Lathe however it is an older model and doesn't have an electronic variable speed. The speed is controlled by changing the belt position on the drive and spindle pulleys. As far as the speed range you refer too, the only thing I can think of is that it is the range available via the speed control but I am not 100 percent sure. It might be possible that in addition to variable speed you can further adjust speed by changing the belt location but that is just a guess. As far as my picking the Nova over the Delta chuck, as I mention in the video, I had some gift cards to Home Depot so that sort of narrowed my choice. After I bought my chuck I did find out that now there is evidently one available that doesn't require an adapter. I don't know if Delta has available pen jaws or if the Nova jaws would fit. Lastly, yes, aftermarket steady rests are available for wood lathes plus there are plans online for diy versions. I hope I have satisfactorily answered all your questions. Thanks gain for tuning in and good luck in your wood turning.

Great review, thanks!

+Garret Torres - Garret, thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks. Very helpful video. How did you clean off the excess oil? BTW, I have a Delta lathe identical to yours. A friend recommended the Nova chuck so I searched for a review. Great job.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Tom, I used some mineral spirits to remove the excess oil. I think that WD40 would work equally as well. So far I have been very satisfied with the Nova G3 Chuck. I hope you are equally satisfied. Thanks so much for watching and for the comment.

@@paulsmessyworkshop Every time I go to KZbin for advice on one of my passions (in this case woodworking) I am amazed and delighted at how knowledgeable and generous folks are at explaining things I am interested in. It always renews my faith in humanity. People like to help people. Ain't it great!!??

[@meredithhult8055]

do i need the pen jaws and the adapdeter

[@ScienceMadeEazy]

did you break the edges on the pen jaws?

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Ahmed, yes, I took a fine mill file and just lightly filed the sharp edges. Very easy, very effective. Thanks for taking the time to watch and for the comment. Happy woodworking

[@micstica]

now if only the band saw didn't throw a tire! Fine rig Paul. Regards Paul C.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

micstica, trials and tribulations of the workshop....

[@billkapphan1862]

Is it my imagination or is the chuck rotating in the wrong direction against the drill bit?

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Bill, just an optical illusion. Thanks for the question though. I appreciate your taking the time to watch and for the comment.

[@aleksandrwood8720]

Please tell me whether the lathe chuck suitable for JET 1220 ? Thanks

[@samp1394]

I have been trying to find a 3 jaw chuck with the insert for 1x8tpi included?? I can't even find the adapter to fit the chuck.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Sam, I am by no means an expert but I thought that 3 jaw chucks were primarily used for metal working, I have never seen one used for wood turning. As far as the 1 x 18 threaded adapter, they are readily available through places like www.homedepot.com or www.woodcraft.com but I am sure they are sized and for use in a 4 chuck set up. Good luck in your search. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

I meant 4 jaw chuck set up. Sorry

[@lloydglazer2231]

Not sure if you put the Allen screw in the adapter and tighten it down on your video. For those that have reverse, if that screw is not tight, it will unscrew itself. Please add that to your video for safety.

What’s the difference between the G-2 and G-3

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Tarin, I did a little research and some reading and as close as I can tell the main difference between the two chucks is the size. It seems the Nova G-3 is made primarily for the midi size lathe where the SuperNova G-2 is larger and made for larger lathes. From what I read either will work for either application. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

[@kevinmiller3084]

Hi Paul, I hope you're happy with your G3. I've enjoyed mine as well. I was wondering where you picked up your Delta Late. I love Delta the quality of tools and wouldn't mind upgrading my current shop made lathe.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

+Kevin Miller - Kevin, I have had my Delta Lathe for quite a few years. If memory serves me right I bought it from Penn State Industries but I don't think they handle it anymore. Off hand I don't know who handles Delta tools. I think this lathe has been upgraded to variable speed (ie: more expensive) but you might be able to find one of the older models via a Google search or on eBay. Good luck in your search. Paul

[@micstica]

Ahhhhhhh, I can hardly stand it! I ' ve ordered online the G3 48202 chuck and an ixns adapter to jazz up my elcheapo basic lathe and have to wait about a week for it to get here. With bags growing under my eyes I've found myself in the corner of the workshop stopping the wood turning tools, waiting. Real nice lathe you have there. Why a G3 48202 chuck? Simple. When I get around to up grading the lathe I am sure to be able to use the chuck.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

micstica, I got the G3 chuck mainly because I could get it online at Home Depot and I had some Home Depot gift cards that would cover the cost. Also, Nova has a good name when it comes to lathe stuff. So far I am very happy with it. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

[@kalappabadiger9479]

How much cost is nova G3 chuck

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Kalappa, on Amazon the Nova G3 Chuck costs about $127.00 U.S.D. You can search Amazon to find the exact one you are looking for. Happy turning.

[@brentcorliss7145]

What did you use to remove the oil prior to use?

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

+Brent Corliss Paper towel with WD-40 sprayed on it.....worked great.

[@kalappabadiger9479]

I need nova G3 chuck

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Kalappa, I have found that the Nova G3 Chuck works very well. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

[@JimmiePorterAtStuartArts]

Thanks Paul!

[@bobabooey8367]

Nova Chuck?? He played for the Pittsburgh Penguins

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Bob, Good One!!!! Thanks for watching and leaving the cleaver comment.

[@superloyaljane4255]

My lathe is Thread size ¾” UNF, 16TPI is that chuck that thread

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

By the sounds of things you finally have what you need to use the chuck on your lathe. Glad it all worked out.

[@botoepfer8588]

Just got my G3 did not need the adaptere 1x8tpi

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Bo, I think that after I purchased mine they came out with the model like yours where the threads are already part of the chuck and no insert is required. This is good news for those looking to buy now. Thanks for the information and thanks for watching.

[@botoepfer8588]

paulsmessyworkshop after I sent the message I re checked mine screws in all the way untill it hits the area with out threads on my drive,, It does however leave an area inside the chuck that has open threads,, I will call them tomorrow.you are welcome, I enjoyed watching

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Bo, interesting about how the chuck is fitting on your lathe. I have seen on some chucks where they supply a thick nylon washer that goes between the chuck and the headstock to take up the space. I don't know if that would help in your case or not. Thanks for sharing the information.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Bob, Thanks for the info. I appreciate your input.

[@LEXICOGRAFFER]

The G3 chuck comes with two different threadings..chances are you didn't need the adapter.....maybe HD didn't bother offering both. Then again I don't spend much time with a business that keeps a cancer causing herbicide on its shelves.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Lexicograffer, When I ordered my G3 chuck I ordered it online and at that time you ordered the chuck and the correct threaded insert separately. Maybe now they offer the chuck with the correct threads already in the chuck. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
