The VM120 chuck is double the weight of the VM100 and is generally used for big and heavy work.
You will find that when starting out you will do smaller items, not to say you wont try to do a 16" platter or bowl. But this can still be easily done with the VM100 with a set of 144 dovetail jaws.
If you do find down the track that you do like doing those bigger things and find the need for the heavy chuck then go for it.Jim Carroll

Matt, don't judge the Nova series by what I lent you.
That one was one of the old series which has the inboard tightening mechanism...that spanner/cog/socket is not my favourite. It's a bit hard to engage.
The new version, OK the second-newest-but-still-sold, has a much more simple Allen key like socket. Less dust inside, easier to insert and one less way to break a finger off on.

Evanism,
Given the extent of my knowledge on chucks I have very little to judge it by! I was shiny and it fit my lathe so I liked it!!
I did go with the rather overwhelming consensus and ordered a Vicmarc VM100 however. I took your advice and ordered the live centre and other attachments you emailed through. Thanks for your help. Looking forward to the meets you talked about, perhaps I'll even have something done when it next comes around.
Matt
