barracude for $500?
Jake, I must admit that I have not seen or even heard of a barracuda chuck that costs that much. You can spend that on a few of the chuck manufacturers mentioned in this thread IF, you include jaws or perhaps numerous sets of jaws. Yes, you can spend considerably more than that for the fully tricked-out Vicmarc multi-axis chuck. Otherwise, I am not personally aware of a $500 4 jaw chuck.
Good luck in your chuck search.

Not ever using any of these chucks this gets confusing I see a wide range of prices from an $89 self centering chuck at PSI to $500 for a Baracuda. Is there really that much difference in quality?
Seems everyone has their favorite chuck. What are the primary differences betweens the ones suggested above and what features should I be looking for. I look at all these chucks and they all look the same to my uneducated eye so I'm having alot of trouble deciding Seems most come with #2 jaws and all seem to have pretty much the same add on accessories. Most of my projects will be bowls (upto 12") and candlesticks and such. I don't make pens. Thanks again for helping work thru this.
