Description

Musclechuck's Quick Change Chuck allows you to change your router cutters one handed, with ease and speed from above the router table or on your CNC machines.

The chucks locking system uses just one hex wrench which leaves the other hand free to hold the cutter. The patented noose grip design gives a full 360 degrees hold on the cutters shaft and loosens with a partial turn using the included 5/32, ball-end, hex key wrench. The design of the chuck means there is no cam to wear out or damage your cutters.

The Musclechuck replaces the original router collet offering improved runout and no more rummaging around for the right wrenches, engaging spindle locks or skinning your knuckles on the router housing.

The Musclechuck opening is for 1/2" shank cutters as standard but can be used with collet reduction sleeves for a variety of shank sizes.

The Musclechuck range fits a wide variety of plunge and fixed base routers. Click here to view the Musclechuck Compatibility Chart.

Expert Advice on All Our Products

Selected by Woodworkers, for Woodworkers

Great Time Saver

I watched a youtube video to satify myself this was going to work as well as my traditional chuck. It is machined to very tight tollerances that ensure the bit remains centred and balanced.

Just unscrew the old chuck, screw this one in and its ready to go. Changing bits is infinitely easier and it works well.

Very pleased.

Game Changing Device

This device is amazing. I use my Incra router table a lot and change bits often, switching between 1/4, 1/2 and 8mm collets. The traditional collet is a pain requiring a minimum of 3 hands to set up and tighten. This device is a joy and makes changing bits a breeze. Only annoyed that I did not discover it long ago. First class service from WWW after receiving chuck with a manufacturing error. When finances permit will be looking for another for my Festool 1400 router.

Expensive but useful

I thought long and hard before buying, but it is a useful item once installed, bit changes are much easier and quicker with the router in a table. It is a lot to pay for that convenience though, nearly a third of the cost of the router itself.

Nice piece of quality engineering

I didn't like using the two wrenches whose operation failed to match the JessEm quality. This "Chuck" however did. Only used it a couple of times and very pleased with the purchase.
Yes it is a bit pricy but glad I have it fitted. I did purchase the 1/4" collet which has not been used, however I do not expect any issues. The bore of the 1/2" collet is obviously machined to much closer tolerances than a standard collet which translates to some of my budget cutters not fitting correctly. This will necessitate premium cutters in the future which is not really a problem if it means they fit the musclechuck. Very pleased with my purchase. As usual great service from both Chris and Jim.

One of the best things I have ever bought for the workshop! Goodbye awkward spanners and collets, hello quick change router bits.

Staggeringly good service, the shipment arrived from Canada at the Wood Workers Workshop warehouse on the Tuesday, went out by post on Wednesday and arrived with my brother in West Wales on Friday morning ! He's really pleased with it, excellent quality at a reasonable price, flip-out stabilizing tab very useful.

Fantastic all round service!

I've never used Wood Workers Workshop before but have been aware of them for a few years. After spending a long time researching router tables I took the plunge and ordered an Incra top, LS Positioner and router lift, complete with the larger AUKTools router motor. Everything arrived the next day and was packaged superbly. The products are really well made and the router is very powerful and quiet compared to my old one. I had one minor issue with the LS Positioner (an Incra issue, not WWW) and it was resolved very quickly at no cost to me. I would highly recommend this company and the quality products that they stock. There is nowhere else selling woodworking equipment of this quality in the UK. I will be back for more! :-)

Best customer service

This company has the best customer service I can remember receiving. I emailed a query tangentially related to the product and got a comprehensive reply by return. I ordered the product on.a Friday and it was delivered on Saturday. The Incra products are of course excellent quality. Only a shame they use imperial fasteners, but I did find I could run am M6 tap through the 1/4 X 20 hole in the sliding washer with no obvious I'll effect so I could fit a Bristol knob to the sliding extension adjustment.
