    Lathe chuck care

    Received my PSI CSC2000C chuck in the mail today. They are not shy about coating it with oil. I got all the oil cleaned off.
    What is recommended to use on the chuck? I was thinking powered graphite on the moving parts of the chuck body. Dry lube on the jaws. Will dry lube have any effect on gripping wood? Would past wax be better?
    How about thread Anti Seize on the jaw screws.

    Don't want anything to rust in my shop but don't generally have a problem because I keep things well waxed.

    Any other care tips I may be overlooking ?
