    Back again Dazzler, after a bit of reflecting.

    Yes, you're right, you need to be clear about what turning you will be doing.

    A chuck is just a vehicle for some jaws, which are just a vehicle for holding a lump of wood.

    So what size wood (ahem, apart from a 90kg lump!) and what do you want to make of it?

    The teknatool site is the best I know of with info on jaw and chuck applications. Well worth a wander through:
    www.teknatool.com

    Even if you don't buy from them you'll get good info on applications and limits.
    Cheers, Ern

    Thanks All

    Well I think I will go with a Teknatool 90mm G3 ($145).

    It takes all the other jaws that teknatool make and is compatible with supernova and nova chucks.

    Should suit my ability and my lathe At the moment.

    Hope to turn some small decorative platters, some small lidded boxes, drawer pulls for my furniture and my 10yo wants to turn some chesspeople.

    And late at night, when i dream, that 90kg burl will become a vase

    cheers
