Barracuda 4 Lathe Chuck

[W.Y.]

This arrived in the mail today and I was surprised at the weight of the box. 15.2 pounds including the chuck and 4 sets of jaws.

My gosh, I had no idea there was going to be such a huge difference in size with that chuck compared to my Barracuda 2 . Lots of steel throughout on all the sets of jaws and larger diameter screws to hold them on.
Even the difference in the size of the T bar tightening wrench surprised me.
I will feel a lot safer now when turning things between 12 and 18 inch diameter.

You are sure to love that Cudda 4 as much as I love mine. It is a very versitile tool. In fact, I'm going to get a center drive spur to fit in it and the chuck may never come off. IMHO, it is money very well spent for anyone who uses a lathe. Congrats.
