Dillon Jaws Soft Jaw Blanks Provide Consistent Part Clamping

January 3, 2018

Soft jaw blanks from Dillon Jaws are supplied in standard sizes, are easy to order and meet customer needs by featuring a milled surface on the jaw end, providing an established surface aiding in positive serration alignment with the front edge of the jaw.  This datum 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 reduce set-up times, aid concentric performance, provide better chuck balance and have a longer jaw life because of the increased jaw accuracies. Featuring established surfaces in relation to the jaw serrations, Dillon chuck jaws consistently perform as a standard workholding component for turned or bored parts. 

Dillon Manufacturing offers a full suite of jaws to complete the workholding line, including soft jaws, hard jaws, full grip jaws, collet pad jaws, vise jaws and custom jaws.

Dillon standard and custom chuck jaws and collet pads are ideal for high-speed machining, in addition to precision boring, tapping, drilling and finishing across virtually all industrial markets.
