Last night at the turners mtg we got to have a hands on the new SuperNova 2 and the new little chuck, the one with the tommy bars. That Nova 2 is a sweet looking chuck and is it heavy. :D Of course the big thing is the hex turn key in place of the wobble stick :eek: that is used now. They are both all chrome except the Nova 2 has a black plastic cover that is over the back of the chuck to keep out dust. Very nice new chuck. It looks like the Nova 2 has the insert built right into it which makes it nice not having to buy another one. But it restricts it to one brand/type of lathe. If you are looking for a 2nd chuck body to use with different jaws, this would make a nice on.
