Description
These step jaws are designed primarily to grip in the contracting mode, the base (foot) of footed bowls.
The step sizes provide optimum gripping for three foot sizes with minimal crush damaged wood. There is also an expanding dovetail made for alternative recess gripping of bowls. Can hold bowls up to 12" in diameter.
Optimum Step sizes:
- 42mm (1.65")
- 50mm (2")
- 64mm (2.5")
Features standard on all NOVA Jaws:
Full Cross Function:
Only NOVA Chucks give you the same jaw fixing system and same insert/adaptor system across all chuck models.
This means all accessory jaws in the range fit all the chucks in the range, including older chuck models, giving you the ultimate flexibility. In buying a NOVA chuck, you can be confident that whether you want to move up or down the range, any accessories you have invested in will fit.
Special Dovetail Profile:
NOVA chucks have been especially designed so the jaws will cut into the wood, grip firmly in the contraction mode and provide high tear out strength.
Some chucks use an engineering jaw profile (designed to hold a hard material like steel) or rounded profiles, which just crush the wood fibres without digging in and holding securely.
