I'll be checking with them first thing on Monday to see where we're at. Delayed some more is my guess.
FYI - my local rockler mgr said Rockler is not carrying either of these until they have manuals for these products.

got a note from NWA yesterday. the chucks aren't in yet, so things are pushed out until the week of the 23rd.
Cheers!

I don't understand why the chucks are delayed. I am a woodturner and can get nova chucks all day long for the 1' by 8 thread spindle. The chuck they are using is the same chuck i have on my wood lathe. I will say the chuck is about 200.00 with a jaw set, so i can understand about the $800 cost for the rotary. Will they let you purchase your own chuck since everyone is waiting? A PSI chuck is only $90 with jaw sets that will fit that spindle they are using. A 1"x8tpi is pretty standard.

they are probably ordering direct (NZ) for bulk and a discount. That being the case, it was probably delayed due to the west coast
dock strike and subsequent backlog of ships. Rockler canceled their entire April flyer because half of the items are
backordered or stuck on a ship. But you're right, I'd happily take it without the chuck since I have several.

I spoke to the NWA team at the wood working show in Tampa last Friday... I was told that if you want it with out the chuck you can get it now... and save around 100$...
They also showed me the laser engraver that will be offered near the end of the summer... Looks like we can have an all in one machine for less that an engraver stand alone...

Nice folks to talk to...

thanks zsat. I spoke with NWA today and the truth is they are taking pre-orders for it w/o a chuck, but everything else is not in place to ship
meaning there are parts besides the chuck on the same boat that is keeping them from shipping. everything is suppose to clear customs by next
week, so I'll just keep holding my breath. I'm hoping to have everything online in and working for April.

Hello. well according to NWA, they got the chucks and everything else in. Now the delay is waiting on them to finish the instructions.
You would think they would have had that done already, right? So in typical NWA fashion, they are already running a month late from their announcement date, and they
claim possibly shipping next week. I wonder what the excuse will be next week?
I'm sure it will ship soon (some day) but what a lousy way to do business.
