looking for a 4 jaw lathe chuck 1x8tpi new or used

I own the Oneway Talon and I love mine. When I bought mine it came with the thread adapter for the thread pitch that was on my lathe but now I see you pay extra for it. Whichever one you choose get a model that uses the 1 key tightening. It’s definitely more convenient. If cost is a bigger issue than convenience then I wouldn’t completely dismiss the two bar system. I hope this helps!

I’m a new turner, so take my advice with a grain of salt. I purchased the Barracuda chuck system on the recommendation of some other LJ’s. It was more than I wanted to spend, but I figured I would spend less in the long run if I just did it right the first time.

Charlie that chuck looks great and not a bad price.

I recently picked up the Nova 3 chuck for my Jet1220 and I love it. The one key instead of two makes it so much easier to use

My first choice was and always will be Oneway. Teknatool’s Nova is a very close 2nd.

I have only one chuck, the PSI Utility Grip. I use it on a 10” ShopFox lathe, and have been extremely pleased with it and have turned some very nice bowls and other items with it. The nice thing about it is, 1. You don’t spend a fortune to get a chance to determine if you like turning bowls. 2. It comes with multiple grips/jaws so you get a chance to try lots of different things with just one purchase. I’m sure the single tool for tightening/loosening is wonderful and I lust after a Nova Supernova2. However, the chuck I have chucks a chunk of wood and hangs on to it till it’s a beautiful bowl. If you’ve got the money spend it on top of the line. If you don’t, you won’t be disappointed with the PSI chuck while you learn. I wasn’t, and I’d buy it again. In fact, as soon as I can open the NOVA 1624 sitting in the box in the garage, I already have an adapter to use the PSI on that.
