My question is, are Teknatool and Oneway jaw sets interchangable? I am
thinking of buying the SuperNova chuck from Teknatool, however there are
some jaw sets that look like they would do a better job from Oneway. Or will
I be forced to purchases a Oneway scroll chuck also?

The Teknatool stable of jaws is as good as any, better than a lot. What
were you planning on doing with them?
You'll want the pin jaws, for sure. Handy as can be for small stuff and
starting. Here the Teknatool jaws are a great choice because they don't
mess their own nest by chewing the wood, just snuggling up tight to it
without changing its shape. You also get a 25mm dovetail capability, and a
dowel-chuck setup all in one.
I work mostly with the 50mm on mortises, and they come with. If you don't
bully your work, they'll do at least 16x9 that I can vouch for.
Next up would be the so-called 75 mm. They're great tenon-holders, with
good broad reference faces to snug up with the dovetail, and an 82 mm
mortise hold.
I also have the "power grip" jaws, but seldom use them save to hold small,
lightweight stuff like lids, where a small groove is all you need to
reference to. Suppose if you're a tenon guy they'd do almost as well as the
75s.
Then there are those toothed monsters, which I bought because other people
recommended them. Don't give me anything the smooth ones don't do better,
except for square pieces, and even that's debatable. Sure can chew up
wood, making precise recentering almost impossible, though.
I'd like to add a set of the extended jaws this Christmas for the rare times
when I'm turning from the headstock end for whatever reason. They'd give
some extra room.
Get a Oneway steady. Makes any set of jaws at least one size bigger with
the resistance to lateral loading, and keeps chatter to a minimum below 1/4
thick. |

Nat as far as I know it is some Oneway Talon jaws could fit the Nova
chucks, after taking out the safety pin that the Oneway set has.
And yes I agree, the Oneway jaws are the better Jaws for holding wood,
and are patented for their shape, but Oneway also makes the other jaw
shapes everyone else makes.
There are some persons that think that what they have is the best and
their opinion only changes when they buy something else, every crowd
has one at least.
I would buy the Oneway chuck and the jaws you like to have, I do know
they are the best or equal to the best around, and service is also
tops, plus everything is made right here in Canada, close for more jaws
or service.
Here's the opinion of someone else if you like to know.

And here are the reasons why.

Here's one of my albums to show that Oneway jaws do NOT chew up wood
and hold on tight !!!!!

Nope, we still measure wood strength by resistance to force per unit of
area, so dividing the force over a larger area, as always, is the best way
to ensure that the material is not deformed. No ridges or teeth, contour
meets contour is the best.
Those are facts. What's nice to know is that you can use bad practice and
still get good results when you use jaw types designed to divide the load,
and carry it over a broad area. |
