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.

Awesome. Absolute game changer

I bought a Trend T14 Router to go in my UJK Router Table. Frustratingly I needed 3 hands to change router bits, one to hold the bit, one to hold the lock, and another to tighten the collet.

Musclechuck means this is now so easy. I can change bits above the table, without locking my router collet or fiddling about underneath.
I don’t understand why this type of collet lock isn't a standard feature of routers.

Absolute game changer I highly recommend.
If it was a little cheaper I’d give it 6 stars, which I cant do anyway :D

Fantastic engineering and saves so much time

i was resurrecting an old ELU router table and getting my knuckles skinnred every time I changed bits on my ELU 177E
This is a game changer. 1/4 of a turn with the supplied ball head allen key and you are ready to change bits.
Would be even easier if I bought a proper router lift!! Maybe Santa will read this and take the hint.
Highly recommended

Great Product

Great system and far better than grappling with spanner’s. Hopefully there will soon be one fro ¼ inch trimming routers.

Table routing just got easier!

I have been using a router table for about 20 years. Initially changing the cutters by grovelling blind underneath the table with a spanner and the spindle lock, more recently with a lift changing cutters above the table with two spanners and now the world moves on again with the Musclechuck, quarter of a turn with an Allen key and you're done. No more crushed fingers and trying to find those lost spanners! Don't let the price put you off you will wonder why you didn't buy one earlier.

I don’t normally do reviews but I had to this time because this is absolutely fantastic bit of kit, with no vibration at all and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Thanks Phil.

Easy to Fit and Easy to Use

I have only had the MuscleChuck a few days and not used it much yet, but I have fitted it (very easy - but bigger spanner needed) and used it (very simple and quick to fit router bit into it) and most importantly it provides a huge additional depth to the bit, when using in my Woodrat. I have some slot cutters that could previously only reach the top of the wood which was pretty useless. Now I can cut a slot in the side of a piece of wood wherever I need the slot to be.

If you use a half inch router - just buy one. Thank me later.

Simplicity

The Musclechuck is a great addition to any router table as it enables quick changes of router bits with a simple turn of the hex cap screw above the table rather than the alternative of using spanners often in difficult positions. I have used it for 1/2 inch bits only. Reduction bushings for smaller bits can be fitted but I have not done so yet.
