down securely after centreing then those jaws should
not be used until the problem has been investigated and
resolved.
NOVA chucks open and close with reverse operation to
RECORD POWER SC chucks. Our control direction has
been designed to be more intuitive. So if you try to fit
NOVA jaws to RECORD POWER SC chucks it is important
to remember that the jaw numbering on NOVA jaws will
be different to the jaw numbering on RECORD POWER
SC jaws and jaw slides.
Fitting NOVA to RECORD POWER SC Chucks
NOVA jaws 1 and 3 should still be matched to jaw slides
1 and 3 on the RECORD POWER SC chuck as you would
with RECORD POWER jaws. However, jaw 2 should be
mounted on slide 4 and jaw 4 should be mounted on
slide 2 (this is the opposite of mounting RECORD POWER
jaws to RECORD POWER SC chucks – in which case the
jaw numbers match the jaw slides exactly).
Other manufacturers have also made chucks and jaws
with the same mounting specification – So if attempting
to use other manufacturers’ jaws, try and establish the
direction of travel the jaw slide control uses as follows:
RECORD POWER SC Chucks – The chuck key is turned
clockwise to close the jaw slides and anti-clockwise
to open the jaw slides. Manufacturers with the same
direction of travel on their chuck and jaws with same
mount may be possible to use with RECORD POWER SC
chucks and if the direction of travel is the same – jaw
numbers should match slide numbers. But make sure
you follow the fitting instructions and check security of
fit before use and if in any doubt as to the integrity of
another manufacturer’s component, check with them
before use.
NOVA Chucks – The chuck key is turned anti-clockwise
to close the jaw slides and clockwise to open the jaw
slides. Other manufacturers may use the same system. In
this case Jaws 1 and 3 should be matched to jaw slides
1 and 3 but Jaw 4 should be fitted to jaw slide no 2 and
jaw 2 should be fitted to jaw slide no 4.
Record Power use CNC machining, powder metallurgy
and the correct engineering materials and processes to
provide the tolerances and physical attributes suitable
for intended woodturning applications. We have high QC
standards and guarantee that when used as per guidance
in the manual, our jaws, jaw slides and chucks will
perform without problems – even with properly fitted
components from other manufacturers. However, it is
important to note that we are guaranteeing the integrity
of our own components in these circumstances – i.e. that
the Record Power components will not fail. However, it is
not possible for us to guarantee the quality or integrity
of other manufacturers’ components. If in any doubt,
please check first with other manufacturers as to the
specifications and quality control they can guarantee for
their products.
For detailed instructions on the use of the full
range of jaws please see the relevant section of
this manual.
