Thoughts on the Muscle chuck?

1

I saw this on IDC’s website and it is 73 bucks has anyone tried it yet? what are your thoughts.

My opinion only, if you want to drill holes or pockets or very simple stuff it should be OK, if you want to do precision inlays I would not use it, too much run out.
IMHO only

I use the muscle chuck on my router table and works very well, and I think it would perform well enough on the cnc where runout wouldn’t be visually noticeable…but I’d rather throw the money towards a spindle upgrade, the convenience factor is great on a table but with full access to the collet and hold button that you have on the cnc it really wouldn’t be much of a timesaver i.m.o.
