In addition to reducing set up times, the features of Dillion Manufacturing soft jaws aid concentric performance, provide better chuck balance, and allow a longer jaw life because of the increased jaw accuracies.

Dillon Manufacturing, an industry leading manufacturer of chuck jaws, collets and collet pads, and other standard and custom workholding devices, presents their soft jaws with easy location features. A milled surface on the jaw end of soft jaw blanks provides an easy-locating feature which speeds setups. 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. In addition to reducing set-up times, 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 the 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.

Dillon Manufacturing, Inc. manufactures a complete line of standard and custom workholding solutions including chuck jaws, chucks, vises jaws, soft jaws, hard jaws, collet pad jaw systems, chuck lubrication, and more.    All products are made in the USA and Dillon is ISO 9000:2008 registered.
