Angled Drill Chuck

Some chucks, such as magnetic chucks and vacuum chucks, are of a different sort from the radially symmetrical mechanical clamps mentioned above. Instead, they may be surfaces (typically flat) against which workpieces or tools are firmly held by magnetic or vacuum force.

To chuck a tool or workpiece is to hold it with a chuck, in which case it has been chucked. Machining work whose workholding involves a chuck is often called chucking work. Automatic lathes that specialize in chucking work are often called chuckers.
