Abstract:
A rotary tool (10) includes a housing (14) defining at least one slot (268) and a motor (24) including an output shaft (84) supported within the housing (14). A collet chuck (108) is coupled to the output shaft (34) that is configured to slidably receive a collet (104). The collet chuck (108) includes at least one lever arm (170) configured to apply a clamping force to the collet (104). A wedge (110) is configured to move into and out of engagement with the at least one lever arm (170) to generate the clamping force. A bearing (232) is attached to the wedge (110), and a yoke member (230) is attached to the bearing (232).
