Lathe chuck

Fills all thats needed

Slicker then owl snot!

Reviewer: Randy Barker (Franklin, ME)

Seriously! I am very happy with this chuck, it runs in and out smoothly, grabs whatever I put to it without a hitch. I must admit that I am getting used to the secondary sets of jaws, it seems that I can latch onto whatever I want with the set that came on it that I had to force myself to try the other jaws. I am just as happy with those too. The only thing I could even come close to calling a little problem is when you are spinning the key chuck it has a tendency to screw out away from the teeth. so you have to push down on the key as you turn, but it's almost a non issue. Other then that I highly recommend this chuck to anyone! Slicker then owl snot on a hot tin roof!

I received the chuck packed in its container just like they advertised. The chuck works great and is very simple to use.

Not a Bad Lathe Chuck

Reviewer: Wayne Bliss (Leslie, MI)
Submitted: 6.23.2009

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.
