Nova Jaws Lubrication

[James Baldwin]

Hi, I've got a Nova chuck that's a little sticky. No so bad that I cant close it but it drags a little. I was wondering what one could use to lube it a little. Thanks, Jim

Clean it and then apply a lubricant containing graphite or teflon. An aerosol lube of which the carrier evaporates to leave a dry film would be my choice.

Thanks, I have both types so I'll clean it and lube it. Jim

You could find just cleaning it does the job. I have put a little paste wax on a cheap chuck I have, but no lube needed on my Oneways.
