Default Drill attachment in place of chuck?

John Doe wrote in news:mi1uoe$iu4$1@dont-

Are there any common drill attachments that go in place of the chuck?

So that when the chuck is removed, the attachment can be screwed on in
place of the chuck.


That's a good question. I can't think of anything that would
be screwed onto a drill in place of the chuck, other than
another chuck.

Bigger drills use a morse taper rather than a screw on chuck.
There are thousands of things that have a morse taper, but
most of those are intended for lathes, milling machines, etc.
Larger sizes of drill bits can be had with morse taper shanks
for directly installing in drill press (quicker to change bits
that way, as compared to using a chuck).
