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.

Really essential for my setup

I am using a Triton Tra001 router in a Kreg table and to get the maximum lift I removed the spindle lock plunger from the Triton so the muscle chuck becomes essential. Now with the switch interlock also removed and no plunger the Triton can be locked in a position that gives maximum lift and with the Jessem prestige it is easy to use the muscle chuck from above the table. I also use a muscle chuck on a Dewalt 625 mounted in a Woodrat so I know these products are really good quality.

Musclechuck for Triton TRA 001

I converted my Triton router to be remotely switched via an NVR switch for exclusive under table use. At the same time I converted to the Musclechuck. It’s brilliant! Not cheap but a big improvement. It’s so easy to change bits and between shank sizes. No more scratched knuckles.
The correspondence with and feedback from the Wood Workers Workshop was exceptional, thank you guys.

These might just....muscle in..on my existing collets

Bought a Muscle chuck recently for my Triton router. Excellent quick delivery.
The chuck itself is brilliant and so easy to use. I had a problem with the self-locking spindle in my Triton router, hence why I bought the musclechuck.
It solved the problem I had of not being able to lock the spindle but actually, it's just a much nicer system to use than the spanner method. How many times did you catch your knuckles when it goes slack...No more.
It's expensive, no getting around that. You'll need extra collets too probably so it's quite an investment really. Great system though. 👍

Don't do reviews, but...........

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.

Great product and great service.

The product is very good, very accurate. The service from Wood Workers was excellent, I was afraid to buy from UK due to custom fees but all went good in this respect. Thank you.
