WELCOME
Thank you for purchasing our SuperNova
2
Geared Chuck. We are confident it will help to both
enhance and advance your woodturning. The SuperNova
2
Chuck is a very versatile unit,
designed to offer a wide range of workholding modes. The SuperNova
2
has a powerful grip while
being quick and easy to use.
It combines the best features of our Nova Chuck, SuperNova
Chucks and similar woodturning
chucks (wide jaw movement, quick two way grip) with the advantages of the latest technology
and innovation from Teknatool.
BENEFITS OF THE SUPERNOVA
2
CHUCK
Hard wearing, heavy duty composite indexing backing plate
Captured pinion with rotation arrow. Makes it easier to use the allen key as it seals easier and
faster. Also helps with easy opening and closing.
Fully backwards compatible with SuperNova and Nova Chuck accessories. The SuperNova
2
Chuck can accept a wide variety of add on accessory jaws
– and all accessories are fully
interchangeable and compatible (with the only exception of the jaw slides) between all the
Teknatool Chucks (Nova, SuperNova, SuperNova2 and Titan Chucks)
New design woodworm screw locks into the chuck body and provides a strong and durable
screw chucking function.
Faster action than the old SuperNova.
Ball nose allen key with easy grip plastic handle.
Seal of authenticity
– holographic Teknatool sticker on backing plate.
New display box has space to display chuck and extra accessory jaws, and insert.
All NOVA Chucks have Jaws specifically designed for Woodturning:
All the NOVA jaws are specially designed to expand into recesses or contract around
round/square wood spigots of varying sizes and applications. Some irregular pieces can also be
gripped. Teknatool chucks can swap from the expansion/dovetail mode to the spigot mode and
back instantly, with no adjustments or extra fittings being necessary. In modes, any spigot or
recess size can be selected between the minimum and maximum range of the jaws. With the
add-on accessory jaws removed, the jaw slides can be used to grip quite small spigots.
As a valued customer, we would be pleased to hear from you and how you found your
SuperNova
2
Chuck. Any comments on the chuck or accessory ideas would be very welcome so
that we can continue to offer what we believe is the best woodturning chucking system available.
ACCURACY:
The SuperNova
2
Chucks are sample tested from each batch and are made to run
within the following tolerance limits:
Face Runout Maximum: 0.1mm (0.0039 inch)
Radial Runout Maximum: 0.13mm (0.005 inch)
The testing is performed with the chuck mounted on a standard insert. To ensure accuracy when
mounted on a lathe, refer to page 6. It is well to note that wood is quite a plastic material - with
different densities even in the same piece, and liable to warp out of place while turning. This is a
part of the beauty and appeal of working with such a medium. However, under these
circumstances pursuing accuracies as quoted above can be very difficult to achieve. For most
woodturning situations (with some expectations) there is little need to achieve such tolerances.
