So somehow I missed that any of these products existed and after finding out about them I'm now considering picking one up for my Porter Cable 7518 that lives in my router table. I have a couple of questions though. After researching these quick change/release router chucks it seems there are four companies all selling the same product but I have not been able to confirm that. So far I have found the following:
- Whiteside 9700 (LINK)
- MuscleChuck SHA0002 Eliminator RC (LINK)
- Magnate Eliminator RC (LINK)
- The Eliminator Chuck (LINK)
I realize there was some history with this product and the patent being sold off by the original inventor a number of years ago, but what I'm wondering is whether or not all these products are actually the same and have just been rebranded. They all cost about the same and look the same in photos but that isn't enough to confirm.
Also I'm interested in hearing from any of you out there that own and use any of these and how you like them.
