Super nova 2 chuck

[Mark Lilly]

Hey guys,

A couple of days ago I was using the super nova 2 chuck on the lathe and one of the screws holding the individual jaws must have been loose as the screw flew out when I turned the lathe on. Was looking on my hands and knees for it but to no avail, I've tried searching for a replacement screw but also to no avail. 

I can't remember who lent/sold the chuck to the space but if anyone knows of a good parts supplier for things of this nature then let me know and I'll replace! 

Just as a note the chuck is still in good working order with the one screw in the jaw but it's not ideal and might cause stress if something is tightened too tight in it so please be wary!

Thanks,

Mark

The chuck is owned by the space now.

Replacement screws can be got here: http://www.brimarc.com/products/NOVA-Chuck-Spares-Fastening-Kit-Screws-Only-956069.htm

It's always good to check all the screws on the chuck are tight before using it. The vibration from the lathe will loosen them over time. I hope you weren't hurt.
