Does anyone know of a dovetail jaw set that will fit onto a Barracuda 4 chuck? The Penn State Barracuda 4 chuck has a 'straight fit'. I find myself in the need of a dovetail grip. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanx
None taken, I don't even notice what category something is posted in. I only use the "new posts" link at the top whenever I swing by (2-3 times a day usually) and just go read everything.You will probably get more and better responses (no offense Brian)."
Philip, I got started with Barracuda chucks and now have three Barracuda chucks and a variety of jaws (as well as various other chucks and jaws). I agree that the Barracuda jaws do not have the dovetail edge you can find on other chucks - but the Barracuda jaws have been a workhorse in my shop. My solution to find dovetail jaws was to invest in a Record Power chuck that comes with a useful jaw set with dovetails. The Record Power chucks are solid, well made and reasonably priced and the dovetail edges on their jaws are precisely machined. I use these jaws for holding thinner platters with an interior dovetail cut in the bottom of the platter. My guess is that you are pursuing a similar application.Does anyone know of a dovetail jaw set that will fit onto a Barracuda 4 chuck? The Penn State Barracuda 4 chuck has a 'straight fit'.
