"Chuck" refers to a specialized type of clamp used to hold an object with radial symmetry, such as a cylinder. In a drill tool or machining tool, a mill, or a transmission, a chuck may hold or secure a rotating cutting tool; in a lathe, a chuck may hold a rotating workpiece. A chuck may include jaws that hold a cutting tool or workpiece. The jaws (sometimes called dogs) may be arranged in a radially symmetrical pattern. Chucks on some lathes may include jaws that move independently, allowing them to hold irregularly shaped objects. (Search “chuck (engineering)” on Wikipedia.com Oct. 7, 2022. Modified.
