Hi, I've got a Nova chuck question. I'd like to know what the extra screw holes in this Nova chuck are for. Jim

I have wondered the same thing, so I too want to know the answer!

I don't know what Nova had in mind but I often place the rubber nubs from my Cole Jaws in those spots, making a mini soft jaw arrangement. This is helpful when I need to re-mount a small piece that is already finished.

They're for adding accessory jaws or your own making

Lol, sounds like a really safe idea...

It not the jaws that are dangerous

Its most often not the device at fault nor the hot French fries nor the hot coffee, etc, etc.

I have Oneway chuck stuff and have the jaws that permit adding wood to them to create special jaws. They can come in handy for specialized jobs, typically holding small things. I've used them to easily hold the bowl end of scoops by turning out a somewhat matching recess for the bowl portion. But I admit they have not been as useful as I thought they would be. Holding things is often half or more of the battle when turning but on the other side, there can be multiple options to try. Just another tool in the arsenal!
