The 30th anniversary G3 chuck is a dedicated 1" 8tpi chuck, identical to the spindle on my delta 46-inch lathe. Lathe model 460. Because it is a dedicated type rather than an insert type, it does not accept the standard Nova threaded inserts. Should work on any lathe with a 1" 8tpi spindle, including those made by Harbor Freight. It also has a grub screw for reverse lathes.
Check the TPI of the lathe headstock if you have a Jet 1221VS; it works fine for me. Your chuck should have the same TPI as yours. Also, make sure the headstock and chuck are the same length. They are frequently the same from one device to the next, despite the fact that they aren't officially standard. The long version of the story is as follows: On the Jet 1221VS, the Nova G3 performs admirably.
A 1in spindle and an 8 TPI thread are used on your 12x36 HF lath. This indicates that the spindle is 1in in diameter. There are 8 threads per inch on the spindle. or 8TPI. The Nova TK-100 is a high-performance vehicle. THE NUMBER 48246 WILL FIT IN YOUR LATHE. Furthermore, the direct thread is a far superior choice.
Check with the parts store for woodworkers. Adapters for 3/4-inch shafts have been seen.

This is the fourth chuck I've bought, and the customer service is terrible. This one works fine right out of the box, but it hangs up because the gears aren't synchronized or meshing. I contacted Technatool and informed them of the situation. and got the short end of the stick. They refused to discuss a replacement at any point, but did say it was most likely a "user issue. " The only problem I see is that I wasted my money with the wrong company. br>br>This is the last time I'll be buying anything from them. The warranty appears to be meaningless; after all, what good is a 6-year warranty if they won't back something straight out of the box?.
It does not require an insert, and the threads are 1" x 8 TPI, as stated in the description and as depicted on the box. I saw another reviewer say something different, but the one I got is exactly what I expected. br>I like how it fits and looks, and it'll be replacing my Nova Midi chuck. This is an excellent piece of equipment, and I anticipate it lasting a very long time.
The arbor of the Wen lathe protrudes into the chuck cavity, preventing it from fully closing. It's still about 1/2" open. This also keeps the worm from properly seating, which is the more serious problem. It appears that adding a 1" ID washer (or two) between the lathe and the chuck will solve the problem. Nova should have done more testing and included a washer or spacer in the box, in my opinion. I understand that they can't test all lathes, but Wen is a well-known manufacturer, and this chuck is advertised as universal. The product is fantastic in every other way. It also comes completely drenched in oil, so be sure to thoroughly clean it before using it.
Before using this tool, I recommend reading the manual and keeping an eye on your speed and ensuring that your part is secure. Because the part wasn't secure, a medium-sized component flew out on me. Before turning on the lathe, double-check for tightness. That's why I say that so you'll be cautious when you use it. This is an excellent tool in general. Anyone would benefit from this! (This is my 13-year-old son's review of the part he purchased. ).
This set covers a good range of jaw sizes for smaller turnings and is a quality Nova product with a good selection of jaw sizes. Perfect for my Comet II, which is a mid-sized lathe. I couldn't be happier with everything that came with this set, and the price was excellent for what you get. I've used everything in this set at some point and can say that none of the included items have disappointed me. If you decide to buy, you will be pleased.
I needed a chuck to turn small projects, and this setup was ideal: it has multiple jaw configurations, a T bar for tightening jaws, and excellent build quality. I've been using it for a few months and have made quite a few things with it. My only criticism is that the back is open rather than closed, as it is on some of the other models. A lot of sawdust gets into the gears as a result of this. It hasn't caused any major problems so far, but I do blow it out on a regular basis to keep it clean on the inside; otherwise, it's a fantastic deal.
To be clear, this rating is solely based on the carrying case's damage. My nova chuck had only just been opened. The foam inserts inside aren't glued in at all, which was my first disappointment. Because the top is only loosely fitted inside, it does not stay in place. The chuck has yet to be used, but it appears to be a well-made tool. So far, I'm pleased with how it looks and how smoothly it operates. My second disappointment was discovering that the plastic clasp was broken when I closed it up. It was nowhere to be found, not even in the box. My carry-on bag is no longer closing properly. I 100% would send it back for replacement but I ordered it for a project that I have to finish this weekend. The tool is something I require. So I won't be returning it, but I am dissatisfied with the case.
I'm 70 years old, and this is without a doubt the best tool I've ever purchased. It's built in an unimaginable manner, and it's a fantastic value. NO, the case's clip was broken. They may send me a new case, but I'll still give it a ten-star rating.
