Some designs simply get it right the first time. The NOVA Original G3 Chuck is the classic 4-jaw design that made NOVA a household name in woodturning - and it's back. First introduced as part of the pioneering NOVA chuck family, the G3 earned a reputation for reliable precision and dependable performance that turners across the world came to count on. We brought it back because you asked us to. 

The NOVA Original G3 Chuck is a fantastic option for woodturners, whether it's your first chuck or you're adding to a collection. The standard kit includes the Original G3 chuck, 2" jaws, a woodworm screw, and a chuck key, allowing you to easily mount up your bowl or other project through every step of the turning process! It's a versatile choice, as any jaws and accessories from Nova can fit this chuck. With a few turns of a hex wrench, the Original G3 chuck transforms into whatever you need.

Designed for lathes up to 350mm (14") swing, the G3 is ideal for small to medium sized bowls, boxes, and spindle work - it's the perfect chuck for entry and mid-sized lathes. Its 4-jaw self-centering system provides consistent, accurate workholding on every project. Machined from high-tensile 1045 steel with composite jaw slides and the secure Tuff-LockTM gearing system, the Original G3 delivers smooth, vibration-free turning and lasting accuracy. Fully compatible with all NOVA accessory jaws and insert systems - if you own NOVA jaws already, you're ready to go.

The new NOVA Pen ‘Plus’ Jaws easily convert your NOVA chuck into a fast and accurate Pen Blank drilling facility.  The big jaw profile provides a vibration free, solid grip for all sizes of pen blanks and an accurate centered hole every time.  Being able to finely control the drill feed on the lathe is a big advantage to prevent break out on those delicate pen walls.  Also perfect for squaring up the pen blank ends after gluing in the pen kit tubes.

Backed by NOVA's 10-year warranty. Engineered by a family company that has been setting the standard in woodturning since 1978.
