Thanks

Steve, is that measurement made in millimeters, centimeters, meters, miles, furlongs, acres, altitude, inches, feet or hex acre?

Well let's take a guess Roger........... if you have ever seen such a common chuck you know that the thing is about 4 inches across, so the radius cannot possibly be 4.5mm. That also leaves out centimeters at the same time. It's a distance not an area so acre is out too. Feet would much too large since the chuck only about 4 inches across. Miles the same. So my best guess, based on the most basic of information and having at least seen photos is that the measurement he is giving is in inches. 4.25 inches would seem about right.

Talking about this batson dryer. I saw the video of the product. Thinking it's nice to have that new tech control and set a timer on each motors.
What I was less impressed with was how much work it seemed to be just to plug the butt of the rod into the rubber clutch.

I am used to see the wire spring or the plastic clutch with rubber band. Has anyone tried this rubber clutch from Batson? Seems a lot stiffer than the flexcoat but I might be wrong.
