I am a fairly new turner, and have yet to successfully use a woodworm screw to mount anything to my lathe. I have a Nove G-3 chuck. No matter where on the scriew I try to clamp with the chuck, it never stays. Help!
Well, I got it to work, but here's where I was:
View attachment 26098 I drilled a hole the size recommended in the Nova instructions. I guess my basic question is: do the flats face the open space between the jaws, or the rounded parts of the jaws? I screw the wood on with the screw already in the chuck. Otherwise, I think I would lose my mind.
That would be an expensive solution, not sure how wide her jaws are but I'm guessing it's a $30 plus bit...If you take a large forstner bit and drill a flat that the jaws would fit into your problem would be solved.
