Dear Tomislav, I did finaly make the jump and followed every advice that Richard Raffan and you have shared other the past year: one of them was to invest in the Vicmarc serie: so I ordered to Marco two Vm100 with 55mm Shark Jaws and Dovetail 100mm and no standard jaws at all. They came all the way up to Mexico! I could'nt be more satisfied. I just begun this great adventure of wood turning and again, Richard and you are my distant but so present Mentors!! So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!!
Thank you Boris for very kind words, its an honor for me to be in same sentence with my mentor Richard 😀.... Glad you are enjoying your woodturning adventure and once again thank you for support 🤗 Did you know that Boris is a name that is quite popular in Croatia? And Mira Furlan is popular actress in Croatia🤗 Little fun facts that you probably know ☺️

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning you are very much welcome. I think I have seen all of your videos (most of them more than once), and most if not all of Richar's ones.

Stay safe and enjoy turning 😀
Unfourtually I haven't used easy wood chuck, I have seen that quick change feature, but it does come with quite a big price tag as well. For me atleast it works better to buy extra chuck body and attach jaws . Much faster and more relieble.
I guess vicmark is a good Chuck, never had or used. But you still have to go thru 8 screws to change the jaws. Barracuda now has eliminated that chore but limited on jaws. When will someone else improve on that. Chucks and jaws have been the same forever.
Indeed, not much has changed over the years,idealy you have to have chuck for every jaws you have,that way you don't have to change it...but if this is a hobby for someone then that option is not viable..... Easy wood tools have I believe quick change jaws and few jaws more...might be worth the look
Everyone seems to very keen to slag off nova chucks remember you get what you pay for, they might not be the best but they cost less than half what you will need to pay for a vicmark, when i started witching Tomislav he was using a green lathe which small,underpowered and frankly i would not have tied a rope to it and used it as boat anchor. Sometimes you have to make do with what you can afford. Yours J Steven Anderson, Scotland.....
Hello Steven, you are correct sir.... For someone who start of Record powera or nova are great, there is nothing wrong with them...but like you said you get what you payed for and after buying my first vicmark I'll rather save some more money to buy vicmark.... Its just better expirience and feel and quallity.... Much like with lathes.... Same story.... Thank you for comment and watching 🤗 Stick around for next few videos, something new is coming that might surprise someone😄
Good on Vicmarc! I can't imagine a more worthy recipient. I've been using nova chucks -- available locally (SC and MA) and made in NZ when I started. Now I have many sets of jaws and I am constantly frustrated by the lack of overall quality. A small (mini) chuck was even recalled. So I've been meaning to switch to Vicmarc for some time. Already have a Vicmarc lathe. And a VB36. And Steinart now has a chuck body that bolts directly to the spindle that takes Vicmarc (or Axminster) jaws. That's a long way off ($$$) It's meaningful that I've seen a Vicmarc in your previous videos. You've gone to some trouble to get the best. Now I have no excuse.
Thank you very much 🤗 I know that frustracion with RP or nova, they are not bad, but there is so much lost potentional.... Steinert makes some quallity stuff as well, I like there lathes.... Thank you very much for watching and support what I do 🤗
Maybe 30 years ago when I wanted to get my first chuck, my friend who sold me my first lathe said to call Craft Supplies USA and get a Super Nova. When I called them, the tech told me that if I was going to spend the money, the Vicmark chuck was the better chuck. I am sure all of the current big name chucks are quality items, but no regrets at all about staying with Vicmark chucks. The production bowl turners I know all use them.
Good video as always. A question if you don’t mind: I have record power sc4 with standard jaws but wanting a second chuck, probably the vicmark because of the extra travel. I want to do similar projects to yourself and Richard. My question, what two jaws do you think I should get and which chuck would you mount them? Shark jaws and step jaws? I have Coronet Herald lathe. Thank you.
Thank you for comment, you guess it right, step jaws and this kind of 40mm shark jaws as you'll pretty much Will be able to turn everything ☺️. VM100 chuck is great,any chuck from Vicmark is great and you'll have it for life time.
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning I went with Vicmarc chuck and 48mm shark jaws and the 100mm deep dovetail jaws for the SC4 chuck. Thanks for advice. Now I just need to sharpen some chisels 😂
I have owned both the Record Power and I just switched over to Vicmark. The Vicmark chucks are much better made, have tighter tolerances, and have a much better and more complete line of jaws than anyone else on the market. They are also easier to maintain, and unbelievable as it may seem, the company even has videos on how to maintain them!!! They do cost more money, but they are a lifetime buy. If you want to go large, then the VM120/150 can do anything else anyone would ever want to do on a non commercial (CNC) woodturning lathe.
Thanks for doing this video. I first bought Oneway chucks and wasn't really happy with them. I bought a Record Power because I thought it was made in the UK. To my surprise, the chuck is made in China. The record Power is actually heavier duty than my Oneways and I actually prefer it. My next chucks will definitely be Vicmarc. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you very much for watching and comment 😀 . I think that stronghold should be ok chuck, talon not soo much.... Record power would be ok if they use all the potentional of gearing inside....they just have too little travel for me atleast 😀
I have two lathes, one with 1"× 8tpi and one with 1"× 10tpi.headstock spindle. I have two Oneway Talon chucks for each lathe with a variety of Jaws that I can interchange if needed. What I like is that they can be ordered with taperloc inserts that can be changed if required to suit the spindle size. The Jumbo screw fits into all the jaws even the largest with gives 3 1/4" register when turning a blank. I also like the fact that they can be completely stripped down to body only if dust gets into the spiral. Love your videos though, very informative no matter what the subject and always good to learn something new.
That is my one buyer's remorse, buying Nova after buying a cheap Amazon chuck. It should've been Vicmarc or OneWay, possibly Easy Wood Tools. But, Nova has not let me down on any of my five jaws, so I shouldn't feel that way. I guess the speed of jaw changes on EWT, or travel of Vicmarc would be worth nice. I always thought Richard was cranking that thing more than the 20mm range I had. I never realized it was double the distance. So, what's next? Save for CBN or start changing over my chucks. :) Great demo, Tom!
Love my vm120's ( have 3) but the last one I purchased without Jaws as you did and purchased raffin step Jaws separately but mine didn't come with screws or a wood worm screw kinda disappointed. But you are right the best chucks by far.
Sorry to hear that, my guess maybe a mistake on soneone who package that.... They do travel far from Australia and someone could have taken them out.... Sounds like you manage to find screws so that is good news😉 thank you very much for watching 🤗
I’ve been frustrated with the nova chucks just not much range of movement. I am considering buying the Vickmarc chucks. Thanks for your input and review.👍🏻
Thanks just got a 120 the other day have 4 oneways but ready to try some shark jaws ... also i had to translate ( Dodir Drva ) since its on all your titles :)
I have 7 or 8 nova chucks that I've collected over the years and still end up jam chucking pieces due to lack of jaw movement between chucks. You've convinced me to change to vicmark. Another efficiency move you taught me! Less time changing chucks due to short jaw travel of the novas. Plus nova jaws aren't shaped well either! Thanks again. I am starting to get commissions after a long vacation from turning!
Glad to hear about commisions🤗 , glad to be able to help out, RP or nova chucks are good but could me much better if they use all the potentional inside like has vicmark done..... Thank you very much for watching 🤗
Wonderful to see a precision item still made in Australia, a rare thing these days, since we moved so much of our manufacturing off-shore. Almost all locally made items are expensive, with the result many of us doing wood turning as a hobby have to buy the cheaper less well made ‘imported’ equivalent. Nice to see that a viewer has gifted you a Made in Australia product, where it will be put to good use on a daily basis, and where it’s quality will let you enjoy using it. Greetings from Tasmania Australia 👍😁🇦🇺🦘
Very versatile, and I have to expect that explanation at the end came as a surprise to me! Will be interesting to see you turning one of those vacuum bowls with this new method. Thanks for another video.
Nice overview. I am more and more convinced that having multiple chucks is much more efficient than having one of those chucks that does quick changes. Seems more cost effective as well.
I think I may save up for one of these in the future just for the jaws, since they are nice and hefty dovetail jaws with a lot of space on the bottom, unlike my hurricane chuck. My little wen4444 has pretty large space underneath, but the jaws are small and the chuck is not very heavy, although it's quite cheap
There was a lot of thought that went into vicmark chucks, there are a little bit more money but in the long run much better investment and they are much better quallity
I have 4 of the 120's and I absolutely love them. They are definitely the best chucks I have ever used. My only complaint is that once in a very long while, I need to hollow out a vessel in reverse and these chucks and their adapters do not have set screws. I have to resort to my Oneway Stornghold, which is also a nice chuck.
I really enjoy your videos, and am interested in the Vicmark chuck. Could you please tell me the size of jaws you used in the recent Raffin inspired box video (for holding the outer bottom of box)? Please keep the videos coming (I also enjoy the 4-way projects you’ve been doing with the other UA-cam turners 🙂)!
Thank you very much for kind words and support 🤗 . Those are 100mm dovetail jaws, 100mm on the outside of jaws when in perfect circle.... Thank you once again 🤗
Hey Tomislav, I just wanted to let you know that your channel is my favorite woodturning channel right now. Your impeccable skill and honest opinion paired with your no fuss approach of your videos are very appreciated 🤗 I noticed that lately you haven't uploaded as much as previously, I hope everything is fine 😇 I have one question that doesn't have to do with the topic of your video but I'd like to ask you anyway: many people say that spindle gouges are a no go for bowls but you (and Richard) use them quite extensively, mostly on the outside for roughing but a few times even on the inside. How do I know which spindle gouges are good for bowls and which not? Is the KS HSSE 16,5mm spindle gouge usable to rough out big chunks of logs to get them into bowl form? Thanks for your content and greetings, Dave 🤗
Hello Dave, thank you for kind words and I'm honored that you like my work on UA-cam 🤗 thank you sir 😀 Life does interfiere a lot with filming videos but luckily everything is ok, I just found out that many viewers don't have the time to watch every day video if I post every day, I value everyones time that they and you have taken to watch my videos, so I upload every other day or every third day..... And honestly it does free up time for commision work as well so a lot of organization involved to find the time for everything ☺️ Spindle gouges - I would start with AVOIDING spindle roughing gouge, the one with U shape flute, tall paralell sides and tang for handle.... Those can be confused with regular spindle gouges but they are only for spindle work. More modern shape of spindle gouge, machined from round bar are great for spindle as well cross grain work.... They have shallow flute and in most cases flute follow outside curve if you look at the end of it. Those can be used for bowls, spindle gouges are cheaper they bowl gouges so there is economy aspect as well. There is a learning curve to use those the way you see but on my mind well worth the time..... Ks hsse spindle gouges are great and I have video with that gouge how to make a platter and newer , how I rough out elm bowl with GURTOOL spindle gouge, that one is 16,5mm.... Awsome tools and I believe I did close ups of the flute designs so you can see it better what works for cross grain ☺️..... I hope that helpes ☺️ I could make a video on this subject 🤗. Once again thank you very much for support 🤗
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Thanks very much for your answer! 🤗 As long as everything is fine on your side I'm also fine, I personally was happy with more frequent uploads but do it the way that fits you best 😀 I have a spindle roughing gouge, I like it for spindle work (and as the name says for roughing spindles) and for straight lines, I feel like it's way easier with these tools. But I'd never use them on bowls, that's for sure. Regarding the KS spindle gouge I even watched your video about it but somehow forgot it 🥲 Seems like I'll might purchase one, they are 10% off right now as well. I feel like it looks so nice how you are able to rough out blanks. Right now I don't have a bandsaw either, so every blank is kind of rough at the beginning 😅 Have a nice day and greetings 🤗
@@0BAMiiN If they are on sale , go for it, they are pretty much only tools we need in terms of hardness , they are super quallity tools...... I used chainsaw up 7months ago for everything for prep the blanks, 7months ago I bought bandsaw , its nice comfort feature but not nessesary.... I would say that blanks with chainsaw learn you more on tool approch and feel.... Just be safe and let me know how you like ks gouge🤗 Thank you once again 🤗
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning I've just bought the 16,5 mm spindle gouge, supposedly via your affiliate link 🤗 I hope it worked and you get a little bit of money 😀 I also hope that I'll produce more shavings than catches with the new gouge 😅 I feel like the chainsaw is always a bit difficult to handle and I can't use it that fast, I have to set up a place before using it and it's always a hassle, so I often simply don't use it to rough out blanks. I pay the price for saving time and effort before turning while I'm actually turning and have to go very slow though 😅
@@0BAMiiN aaaa thank you very much 🤗 its much appriciated☺️.... Just take your time, enjoy this lovely trade and have fun..... With spindle gouge there is a learning curve and depends on the bevel angle, sometimes you can't do it all, so I use it mostly for outsides of bowls....
Hi🤗 I did use my older vicmark chuck on dml320 without any problems.... I think that even vm120 should be ok but haven't tried that combination.... Thank you for watching 🤗
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning very soon I will be buyin a chuck, and I'm kinda undecided about which one is compatible with me lathe as far as size is concerned. Thanks Tom 😁

Have you ever used Easy Wood chuck? I have a Vicmarc, but was curious about the Easy Wood. They look painless on changing the jaws. Thanks

More modern shape of spindle gouge, machined from round bar are great for spindle as well cross grain work.... They have shallow flute and in most cases flute follow outside curve if you look at the end of it.
Those can be used for bowls, spindle gouges are cheaper they bowl gouges so there is economy aspect as well. There is a learning curve to use those the way you see but on my mind well worth the time..... Ks hsse spindle gouges are great and I have video with that gouge how to make a platter and newer , how I rough out elm bowl with GURTOOL spindle gouge, that one is 16,5mm.... Awsome tools and I believe I did close ups of the flute designs so you can see it better what works for cross grain ☺️.....
I hope that helpes ☺️ I could make a video on this subject 🤗.
Once again thank you very much for support 🤗
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Thanks very much for your answer! 🤗 As long as everything is fine on your side I'm also fine, I personally was happy with more frequent uploads but do it the way that fits you best 😀
I have a spindle roughing gouge, I like it for spindle work (and as the name says for roughing spindles) and for straight lines, I feel like it's way easier with these tools. But I'd never use them on bowls, that's for sure.
Regarding the KS spindle gouge I even watched your video about it but somehow forgot it 🥲 Seems like I'll might purchase one, they are 10% off right now as well. I feel like it looks so nice how you are able to rough out blanks. Right now I don't have a bandsaw either, so every blank is kind of rough at the beginning 😅
Have a nice day and greetings 🤗
@@0BAMiiN If they are on sale , go for it, they are pretty much only tools we need in terms of hardness , they are super quallity tools......
I used chainsaw up 7months ago for everything for prep the blanks, 7months ago I bought bandsaw , its nice comfort feature but not nessesary.... I would say that blanks with chainsaw learn you more on tool approch and feel.... Just be safe and let me know how you like ks gouge🤗
Thank you once again 🤗
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning I've just bought the 16,5 mm spindle gouge, supposedly via your affiliate link 🤗 I hope it worked and you get a little bit of money 😀 I also hope that I'll produce more shavings than catches with the new gouge 😅
I feel like the chainsaw is always a bit difficult to handle and I can't use it that fast, I have to set up a place before using it and it's always a hassle, so I often simply don't use it to rough out blanks. I pay the price for saving time and effort before turning while I'm actually turning and have to go very slow though 😅
@@0BAMiiN aaaa thank you very much 🤗 its much appriciated☺️....
Just take your time, enjoy this lovely trade and have fun.....
With spindle gouge there is a learning curve and depends on the bevel angle, sometimes you can't do it all, so I use it mostly for outsides of bowls....
Pretty slick!
Thanks 😀
Do you think a vm100 would be too big/heavy for a smaller lathe? I have a dml320 like your old lathe.
Hi🤗
I did use my older vicmark chuck on dml320 without any problems.... I think that even vm120 should be ok but haven't tried that combination....
Thank you for watching 🤗
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning very soon I will be buyin a chuck, and I'm kinda undecided about which one is compatible with me lathe as far as size is concerned.
Thanks Tom 😁
