FS: Barracuda Micro Lathe Chuck, Jaws $50 + shipping

[Mark Hepburn]

EDIT: I've cleaned and shined it up and added a couple more photos.

This is a small, Barracuda Micro key operated scroll chuck I've had and used for a while. I have three of the Barracuda 2 chucks that I like and use a lot for smaller work but will be replacing as I move up to the Vicmarc 120s over time.

So, I do like this chuck but am going a different direction and so am hoping to sell this and another chuck. It's mechanically sound with zero issues, but does have some blemishes.

It is complete as purchased (minus the blow-molded case, which I threw away a while back). It includes the chuck, key, hex wrench, 3 sets of jaws, extra screws and the screw chuck.

Here are the specs on the jaws:
Included Jaws: Pin,#1,#3
Pin Jaw Grip: Internal: 7/8" to 1-5/8"
#1 Step jaw gripping: External: 1/16 to 13/16"
Internal : 5/8 to 1-3/4"
#2 Standard Jaw gripping: External: 3/32" to 1-3/8"
Internal: 11/16" to 2-3/8"


Bought for $130. Asking $55.

I'll ship however you like. The chuck weighs about a pound and the rest of the items probably another pound.

Does that have 1"-8tpi threads? Also, is that rust on the chrome pieces, or some kind of residue?

I'm on the fence because it's similar to the one I have already, but it would be nice to have a spare with different sized jaws installed...

Barry, I'll clean it up some more before I send it out. I just didn't think of it to tell the truth. I'm like you: I have a few of the other chucks so I have the jaws already installed. If only I could do that with the Vicmarcs!

Mark, if Barry decides not to get it, I might be interested.

Thanks Jamie. So far, no takers. I did clean it up and no rust.

FWIW, I haven't committed, and I understand that it's first come, first served.

Barry, you're welcome to "first dibs." If you decide "nope," I'll take 2nd, no hurry for me (but not speaking for Mark)
