well I have made up my mind to go with the rock chuck. I just put a new ztruck on my machine 2 months ago. that part does not bother me , what does bother me is I have 3 new cutting bits and 3 new carving bits that I would not be able to use with the new chuck. So I guess rock here I come!!!

Tried to download manual and look at software but can not get to either

I should also say that LHR has never looked at the other chucks out there as a problem. We love that customers have chosen to create these solutions to help themselves and others enjoy their machine experience more. We applaud it and are encouraged by it. Bravo to all for their efforts.

And we all know the rock chuck's are nearly perfectly balanced. I guess we will have to wat for MT to chime in and explain all the "benifits" over LHR or aftermarket chucks out there.

I's sticking with the rock unless there is some REAL benifit to this new chuck. I'd love to see a third party do a static and dynamic balance test on thest two chucks to see who the real winner is.

Looks more like a Eliminator chuck to me. Needless to say looks like they got it right.

The $425 upgrade package doesnt seem like a bad deal however.. as long as the techs do a good job. I have no recent experience with their techs thought so I can only say went I sent my machine in way back in 2007, I was very dissappointed with the service. I would assume things have improved greatly over the years however.

I might suggest that you all go to the CW website and review the new chuck, download the April 2010 Tips & tricks and read what MichaelT has to say about it as a tester. I know he's never steered me wrong.
