’s soft jaws feature a milled surface on the jaw end of the soft jaw blanks, which provides an easy-locating feature to speed 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 setup times, these features are said to 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 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 most CNC or manual chuck projects involving turned or bored parts. They are well suited for second operation finishing work such as shafts, gear blanks, wheel hub and bearings and more.
