Has anyone used the Powergrip Barracuda 4 System from Penn State? A friend has the Barracuda 2 System and it looks pretty good to me. I want it for a PM 3520.

CPeter......send a PM to Bill Grumbine.....or check his recent posts. Seems to me he just test drove one of these for PSI.

Any uppdates on this review by Bill?

"I tested the Barracuda4 with some fairly large pieces and I did not hold back when cutting. It held the wood with no problems. Overall this chuck is a fine piece of work and performed very well Ð it represents a great value for the woodturner"

Yup used it and liked it. Running a humidor on it now. 7 1/2" diameter X 8" long hanging from it. No problems at all cutting into spanish cedar and black walnut. No movement whatsoever.
