A chuck is one of the most important devices in lathe machine it is used for holding and rotating a piece of work while performing a lathe operation.
The workpiece of short length and large diameter of irregular shape which cannot be conveniently mounted between centers are held quickly and rigidly in a chuck.
Collets are the critical connection between the cutting tool and the tool holder (also called a collet chuck).
Most collets are round, cone-shaped, and slotted.
Collets encircle the cutting tool shank to evenly distribute holding power around its center bore.
Various cutting tools allow CNC machining centers to produce components with simple and complex geometries. To be more precise, each device serves a unique function.
CNC machining’s adaptability as a production method directly results from the wide variety of tools available for use, such as drills, bits, and mills
