Nova chuck screws

[Steve Trauthwein]

Hello All,

I was wondering if anyone can point me to somewhere I can get replacement screws for my super nova. The originals are getting buggered up. I tried two local hardware stores and though they had the mm6 screw the heads were too large to seat in the jaws.

I found two sites on the net that advertised the screws but neither one showed a price or how to order them.

Regards, Steve

Can't ya just grind the Dia. of the heads down a little bit? I've done that before when the head was too large to fit in the hole it seats in.

Steve,

Woodcraft sells replacement screws for the Nove Chucks. I believe they were around $12.00.

i had recently gotten some bu the heads were just a bit to large

nothing a trip to the grinder could fix though

sorry i dont have the exact specs that i got them replaced with

i had to go with phillips head

sorry but i am cheap and am not buying a set of 8 screws for $12 (again )

Steve if you have an automotive fasteners place where you live, you may be able to get them there.

Thanks all,

A couple of good ideas. I had actually thought about the grinder but $12 for eight screws will probably get me through my turning career.

I bought replacement screws for my chuck at a local fastener shop. Look for fasteners in the yellow pages and take them a sample. I bought a box of 100 for $16.
