The invention relates to a chuck with a chuck body (2) having a centering hole (3) that is tapered frustoconically and in which is provided a clamping member (4) having a clamping thread (5), with an angle drive (8) having a threaded ring (6) engaged with the clamping thread (5), axially fixed to the chuck body (2), coaxial to the clamping member (4), and rotatable by a drive member (9) that can be rotated about a drive axis that is not parallel to the chuck axis. The drive member (9) can be inserted from the end opposite to the centering hole (3) into a body cavity (10) that can be closed by a plate (11) that is supported on the chuck body (2) and/or the threaded ring (6). The drive member (9) is accessible for a drive tool through an aperture (12) in the cavity wall (13).
