Abstract
A removable nosepiece for a chuck includes a plastic and/or metal ring which is removably mounted on a distal portion of either the main body or a sleeve of the chuck so that the ring is concentric with the central longitudinal axis of the chuck. The removable nosepiece may include a washer-shaped member of rubber extending radially inwardly from the plastic and/or metal ring. If provided, the rubber washer resiliently engages and centers a tool inserted into the chuck through the central aperture of the washer.
