As mentioned in a previous post, I'm getting a new Oneway 1640 lathe, along with a Talon and Stronghold chuck. I think a set of Jumbo Jaws are in order, and I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me decide which model would be best. From what I can tell, the Mega Jumbo Jaws for the Stronghold offer the largest holding capacity as well as the smallest -- they have the greatest range overall. While it seems like a no brainer that these are the ones to choose, I may be overlooking something. I mostly like to turn smaller sized bowls. Say, bowls 2 1/2"- 5" in diameter. Does anyone know whether the Mega Jumbo Jaws would be inconvenient to use with such small bowls? I don't necessarily want to own two different sets of Jumbo Jaws, but it might be preferable if you feel the Megas will be hassle on small turnings.
Also, feel free to chime in with alternate brand suggestions. I've looked at the Modern Longworth type, but don't know much about others. Which would you choose if you were me?
Thanks again for helping. You thoughts are all much appreciated!
