Barracuda2

One of the easiest to use, best value chucks on the market 
The Barracuda2 is an easy to use, high-performance, full accessorized key operated self centering four-jaw lathe chuck system. You only need one hand to use this lathe chuck as the "T" handle jaw tightening key enables you to to tighten the jaws with only one hand while your other hand is free to support your work.

Key Benefits:

  • Easy to use with one hand operation: The "T" handle key system makes it much easier to use than the lever, non-key chuck systems. 
  • Will give you more turning confidence: Because you only need one hand to tighten the jaws, you can feel more confident and comfortable supporting your work with your free hand. 
  • Powerful grip: to hold your work piece securely.
  • Smooth operation & balance: The Barracuda2 system is precision engineered and machined to provide you smooth operation and minimize vibration at almost any lathe speed.
  • Compatible for most woodturning projects: The variety of included jaw sizes and accessories means the Barracuda2 lathe chuck will mount most turning projects onto your lathe; including bowls, spindles, small turning projects and more.
  • Works with any Mini Lathe, Midi Lathe or Full Sized Lathe.
  • Changing jaws is quick and easy
  • Stout storage case for easy handling and organization: The blow molded plastic case will easily store, organize and secure the complete Barracuda2 Lathe Chuck System.

Reviewer: Wayne Bliss (Leslie, MI)

The Barracuda2 chuck was a replacement for a previous Penn State lever action chuck. I expected the key chuck to work much smoother than it does but it is a good value. I have already had a chance to change the chuck jaws and that is a handy feature. I have ordered the multi-tooth spur insert and can't wait to try it out as well.

Excellent chuck, I especially like the one hand operation of the chuck key, allows for support and centering of the work, Great quality at a very affordable price. Turned my first goblet this week.

I replaced my JET chuck with-in 10 min. of getting the delivery. Went to the box of the largest jaws in the box and exchanged them. Attached a vase that I thought was finished but my teacher thought it needed to be hollow formed some more. Using one hand on pot & the other on chuck key has made a big difference. One needs more than 1/8" grip to make safe. I must have put too much side force as I was drawing the gouge out -- The pot poped off & caught my left little finger. Crack ! That wasn't the pot ! At 66 I'm still learning some hard lessons. How much torque will this chuck / key system take ?
