I have both and use the jaws and inserts interchangeably.
My VM-100 and Grizzly chucks are able to accept each others jaws, have not tried the inserts yet.
Vicmarc VM-100 jaws work OK for me on the Grizzly knock-off chuck; no idea about inserts.....
One warning about the Grizzly chuck... My chuck had a particularly sharp back edge (corner near the indexing dimples) - enough to cut my hand (although not severely).
I suggest that users of new Grizzly chucks "check the chuck", and ease all sharp edges with a file and/or abrasive before using!

I use them interchangeably and, if I'm not mistaken, jaws from the Nova Midi fit as well.

Thanks everyone I need some pin jaws and grizzly is BO till july.
I have used Oneway Talon jaws on a Vicmarc 100.
Some recent scuttlebutt about another of the majors indicates some shopping around in China, with similar complaints and remedies.
