<p>A mechanism (300) for connecting a chuck (390) to a spindle (320) is disclosed. The mechanism (300) includes an element (450) that secures the chuck (390) to the spindle (320), an element (450) that allows torque to be transferred from the spindle(320) to the chuck(390), and an element (382, 386) that ensures that the rotational axis of the chuck is aligned with the rotational axis (50) of the spindle (320). The connection mechanism (300) also includes a feature (350) that enables the connection end (312) of the tool accessory (310) to be inserted into the chuck (390) past portion of the connection mechanism (300). The portion of the tool accessory (310) that extends past the connection mechanism (300) represents a net shortening of the total length (figure 1) of the tool which is defined as the total length from the back of a tool (1) to the tip of the tightened tool accessory (310).</p> |
