The fit and finish of this chuck is excellent. I have been using the "c" series chuck for over a year and love it, so when I compared the Barracuda 4 with the Vicmark and Oneway chucks I found it to be a great value.
It is very easy to use with one hand and holds the work very well. The chuck key needs to be pushed firmly into the chuck as you tighten or it will dis-engage. Then again, it could be operator error but, all in all a very minor item.

I like this lathe chuck because it is larger then my old chuck so I can make larger bowls. I use it with the Max jaws so I can do the bottom of the bowls I make.
I recieved my Barracuda chuck a few weeks ago and have been VERY pleased with it's performance and ease to use. Grips and holds wood very well as it has done well on both dry and green turnings. THANKS, I could not be happier.

I have been using the Barracuda4 chuck on my bowl lathe with pieces up to 30 inches in diameter. I am impressed with the fit and finish of the chuck. I have not had any failures and it is performing as well as my large English chuck. There is good value and use with the included optional jaws. It works particularly well on a 1 1/2 inch threads with no insert to come loose. I will probably buy another for my Powermatic.
