Thanks for the info. Yeah, you get what you pay for, but I can still buy decent standard sandpaper without paying proprietary prices for adhesive disks this way.

How easily does the paper come off when you use the 3M stuff? I was worried it'd be too strong.

Hey guys, I'm looking at the Barracuda Lathe Chuck.
At 8 lbs, do you think it's gonna be too heavy for my 10-ER?

Thanks,
Alden

I have the Barracuda 2 (Keyed version of the Barracuds which uses tommy bars)

I'm very pleased with it and the SS Handles it great.

You'll have to get a 5/8's plain adapter for it.

Fantastic; thanks guys!

Yeah, I'll be picking up that adapter. Nobody does 5/8" smooth bore stock...

What? Nonono, PSI makes an adapter that's 5/8" smooth bore to 1" x 8tpi, which is the body thread of the Barracuda. I just meant that nobody makes chucks that go straight on the shopsmith spindle. Chucks, or anything else, that is.

You're probably right.

I had one with the PSI 5/8" adapter and used it on my 10ER. I liked the chuck alot and I would still have it except that I lucked into a couple of Stronghold chucks. You might check Amazon as they often sell at the same price as PSI with free shipping.
