Dillon Manufacturing’s reversible hard jaws decrease the time and cost of tool setups, yet still accurately grip and locate workpieces for ID and OD workholding applications. Designed to hold a specific range of part sizes, these jaws are usually used for first operation workholding, according to the company.

Dillon’s reversibe hard jaws are available in serrated, Acme key, square key and tongue-and-groove styles to fit all brands of chucks. Single or two-step jaws feature diamond-shaped serrations to provide secure gripping and accurate parts locating. The jaws are manufactured with 8620 case-hardened steel with ground locating surfaces and black-oxide coated for corrosion resistance.
