Review on 🔧 PSI Woodworking CSC3000C Barracuda Key Chuck System for Wood Lathe by Andy Tunes

Pretty good chuck for the money. I love that there are so many different bezel options. I also received and love using the alligator cams listed on their website. I have found that slightly squeezing the dovetail bolt grips the cartridge more tightly. After a few months I noticed that the screws holding the bezels were starting to loosen and I had to use a screw extractor to remove the worn screws. I made my own replacement screws which worked fine. I took a screw to the hardware store and found it was a 5mm x 0.8 metric thread. The only ones they had with a flanged top were longer and with a crosshead insert. I cut them to about the size of the original screws with bolt cutters and punched them 5mm x 0.8 and they work perfectly. I would suggest wiping down the chuck and all of its plates and screws with a rust inhibitor like Fluid Film.
