Claims21
A magnetic chuck assembly including a conventional chuck having a stem receiving opening and having structure for imparting a torque to a tool holder;
- a magnetic tool holder having a stem and having mating structure for engaging said structure on said chuck;
- and said magnetic tool holder further having holding means for holding a tool to said magnetic tool holder and magnetic means within said tool holder for holding said magnetic tool holder to said chuck.
A magnetic chuck assembly including a conventional chuck having a stem receiving opening and having structure thereon or therein for imparting a torque to a tool holder;
- a magnetic tool holder having a stem and having mating structure for engaging said structure on said chuck;
- said magnetic tool holder further having holding means for holding a tool to said magnetic tool holder and magnet means associated with said tool holder for holding said magnetic tool holder to said chuck, said structure on or in said chuck comprising at least one slot in a front face of said chuck and said mating structure on said magnetic tool holder comprising at least one rearwardly extending projection on a rearwardly facing side of a body of said magnetic tool holder.
A magnetic chuck assembly including a conventional chuck having structure thereon or therein for imparting a torque to a tool holder;
- a tool holder having mating structure for engaging said structure on said chuck;
- said magnetic tool holder further having holding means for holding a tool to said magnetic tool holder and magnet means associated with said tool holder for holding said magnetic tool holder to said chuck;
- said magnetic tool holder including a body portion and a stem portion, said stem portion extending rearwardly from a rearwardly facing side of said body portion for being received within a conventional opening in a chuck;
