It's a real nickel and the chuck IS spinning @ 2,300RPM

Trivia:
- VERY quiet running.
- 2" more between column and center of the chuck (8-1/2")
- Beautifully precise chuck
- Zero run-out (as far as I could detect)
- Rectanguler OEM table with NO holes! Had to get creative to attach my table (see pic).
- 3-3/8" quill travel - same as the old DP
- 3/4HP same as the old one
- MUCH (physically) larger motor
- 12 speed - Old one 16 speed
- Both made in China
- The only thing missing is a light - I'll think of something...
