Robert Sorby Patriot Chuck and the Super Nova-2 Chuck are probably the most used chucks among us turners but which out of the two do you prefer?
If you don't have one of these two tell us what you have and if you would swap it for one of the above...
Me, i prefer the Super Nova, i like how it is more user friendly on the edges. How they have rounded the chuck of at the edges gives less chances os be cut like i have with the Sorby Chuck ...
The Sorby comes with a rubber band on the outer edge, but after a while this will come off, which i have seen on all other chucks of different turners ... Once the band goes it is then that you are more susceptible to snatches etc, as the edges are now more prominent
