Psi Woodworking Csc3000C Barracuda Wood Lathe Key Chuck System

Le quedo perfecto a mi torno pequeño torno Crafsman agregandole mucha versatibilidad.

Works really well. I like the self centering aspect when tightening the jaw.

I was watching a wood working class and the instructor said;"Get a GOOD chuck... There are Expensive Chucks, There are Good Chucks, There are OK Chucks and there are Chucks that are Junk".This one is a really GOOD solid chuck. There may be bells and whistles that an extra hundred dollars will buy you, like specialty shaped jaws. I believe additional jaws are available for this chuck, if you need them later. This chuck holds tight for safe turning. Jaws change out to hold large pieces. Jaws are easy to replace. It also has jaws to all different size turning... micro turning (like pens), In-between like Boxes of all sizes and jaws for most everything else.HIGHLY recommend this chuck for serious hobby turners, conservative professionals and those that just want a safe chuck that will not let go and bonk you in the head.Cons: None really. But if I do a fair eval, and I am really, REALLY nit-picky critical... It is an open gear chuck. This is good and bad option, so you decide. The gears MIGHT possibly get saw dust in them easier than a closed chuck if you have a real messy shop, but I have not experienced this yet. Then again, it is simple to clean out an open chuck with an air hose. A closed chuck you have to disassemble to clean.The case is made from a cheap "looking" recycled plastic... only time will tell. I have had cheap plastic cases break in a year (mostly the latches) and I have a skillsaw in a cheap plastic case that is twenty years old and still going. My thought on this really is; I am a wood worker and I like my nicest tools in dovetailed wood cases. So I will make a case for this very nice tool, this winter when I am done making Christmas gifts. Lastly, the wrench to take the jaws on and off is kinda flimsy, but it works ok. Then again, so is every wrench I ever got with every tool I have ever purchased.End result... Buy this one. We all look at twenty or so chucks on Amazon before we pull the trigger. This is NOT a chuck that will sit in the box collecting dust because you loath it.PS: I bought a slighty cheaper one before this one, with a BIG name on it (bought here on Amazon). I purchased it before I did my homework. I just trusted the BIG name. What a total waste of my money. I can only use it with tail support, no bowls, boxes or spheres. This one lets me make all of those with confidence that I won't get bonked in the head. Now I am knocking out really nice Christmas presents without wasted wood. Enjoy your Wood Turning therapy.
