Supernova Standard Z chuck

[Vic Perrin]

Hi all, Hope you engineering experts can help with this one. I have a Supernova Standard Z chuck which if fitted with a insert that takes it down to fit a 3/4 x 16 tpi drive.

I have removed the insert but the thread is too big to fit the drive on my Record Maxi 1 which is 1 1/4 x 8 tpi.

There is a part listed on Record Webb site but this is for the Supernova 2 chuck and although the internal thread will definitely fit my maxi lathe I do not know if the external thread will fit into the Supernova standard Z.

Hope this males sense ?

Cheers

Vic

Sorby inserts fit the Supernova 2 chuck.

Sorby inserts fit the Supernova 2 chuck.

This chuck is the one before the Supernova 2 so I am not sure whether or not the chuck body will take the 1 1/4" x 8 tpi that you can get for the Supernova 2

Vic heres a couple of pages from Teknatool website, which may help you, I can't see why they would change the thread on the chuck.

The precursor to the Supernova was the G3. All inserts and jaws are interchangable. That is the value of buying decent equipment.

Your right about that Phil. I brought this chuck secondhand yesterday and it was like new I don't think it had been used. It came with 3 sets of jaws including the Power Grip. I tried them on my Supernova 2 today and they all fit fine.

A set of the power grip jaws are about what I paid for the complete chuck so I am well pleased. I just need to sort a 1 1/4 x 8 tpi insert out now so that I can use the chuck on my Maxi 1 but failing that it will fit on my smaller lathe.

Cheers for all of your help got sorted with an insert from Record Power.

I have a Supernova insert to 3/4" x 16 tpi going cheap if anyone is interested.
