G3 Chuck and cole jaw - jcstudge - 05-04-2020 Hi all, Does anyone have a solution for the fact that the key for a Nova G3 chuck can't be turned more than 1/8 of a turn when using the large cole jaw?  Do I need to buy a 2nd key and cut off one of the arms? Anyone ever run into this before?  I was so excited to use the larger jaw but what a pain to mount a work piece. thanks!

RE: G3 Chuck and cole jaw - SceneryMaker - 05-04-2020 Can you cut the shank off and weld or braze the female end of a 1/2" drive extension to is so that you can use a regular tee handle? RE: G3 Chuck and cole jaw - Dusty Workshop - 05-07-2020 I think that the old key was one piece but the new ones have a handle that can slide through the shat. Call Nova customer service. they might send you a new one RE: G3 Chuck and cole jaw - jcstudge - 05-08-2020 Thanks for the ideas.  I will reach out to Nova first and if that does not work then buy a second one and modify it.
