Jet 920N with Nova 2

[Rshey]

Hey guys, I’ve been Reading the forum but cant find what Chuck you guys are using on the Jet 920.
I’ve got a wood lathe I use the Nova G3 on.The tpi is a different size on the Jet then the wood lathe,so I cant use the adapter. For my Jet 920 I Have a Nova 2 it’s a 1-1/2 x 8 tpi. I got the Nova2 this past week, and have been trying to figure this out without damaging the threads with the set screw.I’ve been to Rockler & Woodcraft, Neather have an adapter that big. At this point I’m thinking sell the Jet and just use wood the lathe. Any help would be great

Use the Jet to make your own adaptor?

Can you not grab the ring with the 3 jaw on the jet?

Yeah, I can use the 3 jaw. I just wanted to use the nova that I bought with the tower jaws,but after a night of research on here and on the inter-webs,its looking like the 3 jaw is gonna be my answer. Caskwith,I thought about using It to make my own. I am not proficient on this yet and it intimidates the crap out of me. Been reading a lot on the machinist forums and watching Videos so maybe.

I'm saying, put the nova in the three jaw. Hold it by the adapter.

Sorry,been away for a little bit. I see what your sayin now.
I ended up selling the lathe.The only reason I bought the lathe
was for stems. After I bought it, I found some helpful threads
On here for stem cutting.For now I’ll use my wood lathe.
Maybe one day I’ll buy another. Thank you for the tip about the 3 jaw.
This fourm has so much information sometimes it’s overwhelming
I need to be patient and just keep reading.
