just FYI,

The "back-order" is real on this item. I've had one on order for ~ 4 weeks. Hope it comes soon.

Got it ordered

Interesting! Can't be selling too many new MarkV's without a chuck.

Where I worked, production had priority when it came to material distribution. In that environment, a back order for parts to be sold "as parts" could exist even if the factoring was turning out 1000 units a week.

I don't think you can establish a measure on likely production based on back orders.

Besides, I recently received a chuck and key (505633, $30.37) in about 10 days.
