Dillon soft blank top jaws easy-locating features assist in concentric performance

Soft jaw blanks from Dillon feature a milled surface on the jaw end, opposite to the clamping surface, which serves as an easy-locating feature.

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. 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, according to the company.

The soft jaw blanks are available in 1018 steel, and 6061 aluminum as well as 4140, 8620 and A2, brass, delrin, or stainless steel. They are suited for second operation finishing work such as shafts, gear blanks, wheel hub and bearings, and more.
