I'm looking at a Nova TK-23099 Direct Thread 1 1/4 Inch Supernova2 Chuck Bundle Gifting Set or something similar for a PM2014 I've just bought. The PowerMatic is reversible and I can't find any info about whether this chuck is reversible aside from one comment saying there is a set screw/grub screw on it. Nothing in the specs though. I am also unsure if these jaws are dovetailed jaws or if that is a standard for the Nova chucks. (Newbie here) Does anyone know those answers for this chuck?
I intend on doing bowls and hollow forms primarily. The PM has 1¼ x 8 TPI spindle threads so any alternative suggestions would need these features....
The PM2014 won't ship until the end of April but I'd like to have some of the basic accessories available when it arrives.
I am upgrading from a Rikon 70/100 with a 1 x 8 TPI spindle so I've ordered an adaptor for my current chuck and faceplates but won't be able to reverse turn with them.
Here is a pic of the set I am considering.
Thanks!
