Jaw Forming Rings

Jaw Boring Rings Maximize Jaw Life by Lessening the Amount of Jaw Stock Removal Required

Dillon jaw forming rings lessen the amount of jaw stock removal required during parts set-up, thus maximizing jaw life for cutting and forming operations. They provide a more uniform grip on the workpiece and mount in direct contact with the top jaw to preload the chucking system.

Jaws can be more precisely machined to provide a firmer grip on the workpiece. Self-centering jaw forming rings attach to the front of jaws without tools, so installation is fast and simple, and set-up times are slashed.  Use of this device will provide a jaw surface true to the machine centerline, reduce set-up times, and increase up-times for running machined parts.

They provide uniform pressure on jaws for a more consistent bore on large diameter chucks. They compensate for “jaw lift” even in worn chucks, which yields better part concentricity. Ideal wherever soft jaws, round jaws, and full-grip jaws are used.  

Chuck-diameter-specific versions, and adjustable boring rings are available from 6-18-inches in diameter.  Both styles feature no-tools attachment. Dillon jaw forming rings are a high-quality product which will ensure years of quick, stress-free set-ups when paired with Dillon jaws.

    Enlarging a hole that already has been drilled or cored. Generally, it is an operation of truing the previously drilled hole with a single-point, lathe-type tool. Boring is essentially internal turning, in that usually a single-point cutting tool forms the internal shape. Some tools are available with two cutting edges to balance cutting forces.
