D&M Tool Show 9th -11th October (UKW MEET on FRIDAY at 2pm)

[Random Orbital Bob]

as well as the new chuck range. For a modest sized British company that underwent a management buyout not that long ago they have produced a lot of innovation. The chucks were very interesting as they've wound up the relationship with Teknatool so no more Nova chucks. This was done to reach a broader global market which for reasons I wont bore you with wasn't possible before. However their new range which they've designed from the ground up are in the same niche as the G3 and the SN2 and jaws are compatible.

Interesting. Can you confirm, are the new Record chucks and accessories compatible with the Nova chuck?

Thanks.

They are Custard yes. The only consideration is that because Record have fixed the "incorrect" tightening screw direction on the jaw tightening mechanism, it means the following:

When installing Nova jaws on the new SC chucks, align the numbered jaw with the numbered carrier for 1 and 3 but swap the 2 with the 4 and vice versa. That also works in reverse and the usual adage applies: Don't make the final tightening on the jaw screws until you've wound the chuck into its smallest radius because by doing so you get the best concentricity....then nip up the screws and the jaws will be as aligned with one another as they can get.

Thanks Bob, that's clear.

I haven't decided yet, luckily it's valid until 31/12.

It was my first time at the show, as we happened to be having a weekend away in Surrey.

I'm not envious at all. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

We stayed in Guildford and did RHS Wisley twice and also visited Shere.

We got to see Brian Blessed at the Guildford Book Festival. Brian is an incredible raconteur, but comes over as absolutely bonkers.
