Thanks so much. Glad to know I'm not special, just one of the boys so to speak.

Have you ever run yours at the lathe max speed, which I believe is 1400 RPM?

I have run 1400 doing small stuff but I can't say for sure if I ran the 4 jaw to that speed. That chuck is built like a tank, I wouldn't worry about another 50 rpm particularly after the sent it with the lathe.

I agree. The only difference is that my lathe shows a max speed of 1500 RPM, not 1400 as noted on yours. I am positive both lathes actually spin at the same max speed, since all the other gear combos have identical speeds. I'm going to get a tach for mine just to make sure but knowing that the Grizzlys are shipped with the same 4 jaw, I am no longer concerned about it.
