Dillon Manufacturing soft jaws with easy location features
Dillon Manufacturing’s soft jaws are available in 1018 steel, and 6061 aluminum as well as 4140, 8620 and A2, brass, Delrin, or stainless steel to suit virtually any CNC or manual chuck project involving turned or bored parts.

Dillon Manufacturing, an industry leading manufacturer of chuck jaws, collets and collet pads, and other standard and custom workholding devices, helps customers to speed their setup with soft jaws with easy location features. A milled surface on the jaw end of soft jaw blanks provides an easy-locating feature that helps machinists quickly set up the next operation. In addition, this datum, opposite the clamping surface, serves as a location point for positioning the counter-bored holes and the jaws’ serrations resulting in exact dimensional matching of Dillon jaw sets. These features aid concentric performance, provide better chuck balance, and allow a longer jaw life because of the increased jaw accuracies. As a result of having established surfaces in relation to jaw serrations, Dillon Chuck Jaws consistently perform as a standard workholding component for turned or bored parts.   

Available in 1018 steel, and 6061 aluminum as well as 4140, 8620 and A2, brass, Delrin, or stainless steel to suit virtually any CNC or manual chuck project involving turned or bored parts. They are ideal for second operation finishing work such as shafts, gear blanks, wheel hub and bearings, and more.
