Dillon Manufacturing, a manufacturer of chuck jaws, collets and collet pads, and other standard and custom work holding devices, will feature their soft jaws with easy location features at Eastec in booth #5039.
Eastec will be held May 13-15 in West Springfield, Massachusetts.
Dillon's soft jaws have a milled surface on the jaw end of soft jaw blanks that the company says provides an easy-locating feature, which speeds set-ups. 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 jaw serrations, Dillon Chuck Jaws consistently perform as a standard work-holding 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, and wheel hub and bearings.
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.

Related Glossary Terms
- chuck
chuck
Workholding device that affixes to a mill, lathe or drill-press spindle. It holds a tool or workpiece by one end, allowing it to be rotated. May also be fitted to the machine table to hold a workpiece. Two or more adjustable jaws actually hold the tool or part. May be actuated manually, pneumatically, hydraulically or electrically. See collet.
- collet
collet
Flexible-sided device that secures a tool or workpiece. Similar in function to a chuck, but can accommodate only a narrow size range. Typically provides greater gripping force and precision than a chuck. See chuck.
- computer numerical control ( CNC)
computer numerical control ( CNC)
Microprocessor-based controller dedicated to a machine tool that permits the creation or modification of parts. Programmed numerical control activates the machine’s servos and spindle drives and controls the various machining operations. See DNC, direct numerical control; NC, numerical control.
