    Question Rock Chuck?

    Does anyone know if CW-Parts is still in business? I ordered some new bits for my rock chuck, but they were never delivered. Consequenly, PayPal, which is their only payment method allowed, backed out the charges.

    To be fair, I got a personal email from Ron, and they had a tragic house fire. So, I emailed him back and said I understood. He said he could find the parts, but nothing ever showed up.

    So I am considering to moving back to the CW chuck.

    Your thoughts and/or suggestions would be most welcome.

    Dave

    If you were only ordering bits, why not just buy the bits elsewhere?

    Dave,

    Didn't know about the fire... sorry to hear about that.... I get bits from other places....

    If you decide to go with a CT, I am willing to buy your Rock for my stock. I got 2 last week.

    Thanks,

    AL

    Like Al, I was unaware of Ron having a house fire.
    Through the years I have tried to stay in touch with my fellow
    Ohio CW owner, but he has not responded in the past two years.

    Also like Al, I would be interested in the chuck, especially if it is 1/4".

    You can find new bits on eBay. The Rock chuck is a really nice holding device for the Carvewright, the only way I would get rid of it is if you were going to go with the Carvetight system.

    Al,
    So do you know if he is up and running again? I have tried emailing him, but never got a response.

    Henry,

    Yes they do sell the CT chuck as a "you install" ...http://store.carvewright.com/product...cat=285&page=1

    You do get a core charge back if you send your old truck back in...
