Dillon Manufacturing Showcases High-Precision Soft Jaws at Eastec 2025!

Dillon Manufacturing, a leading provider of chuck jaws, collets, and custom workholding solutions, is set to exhibit its precision-engineered soft jaws at Eastec 2025, taking place May 13-15 in West Springfield, Massachusetts. Visitors to Booth #5039 will have the opportunity to explore Dillon’s advanced soft jaws, designed to enhance machining efficiency and accuracy.

Dillon’s soft jaws feature a milled surface on the jaw end of soft jaw blanks, providing an easy-locating feature that significantly reduces setup times. This datum, positioned opposite the clamping surface, serves as a precise location point for counter-bored holes and jaw serrations, ensuring dimensional consistency across all Dillon jaw sets. These features lead to:
✔ Faster setup times, boosting productivity in CNC and manual operations.
✔ Enhanced concentricity, improving precision in machining applications.
✔ Better chuck balance, leading to increased tool life and machining stability.
✔ Extended jaw longevity, thanks to higher accuracy and repeatability.

Dillon’s soft jaws are available in a wide range of materials to suit diverse CNC and manual chucking applications, including:
🔹 1018 Steel & 6061 Aluminum – Ideal for general-purpose machining.
🔹 4140, 8620, and A2 Tool Steel – Suitable for high-strength applications.
🔹 Brass & Delrin – Excellent for non-marring workholding.
🔹 Stainless Steel – Designed for corrosion-resistant applications.

These soft jaws are particularly effective for secondary operations such as finishing shafts, gear blanks, and wheel hubs and bearings, making them an essential workholding component for turned or bored parts.

With a comprehensive line of chuck jaws, collets, vises, and lubrication solutions, Dillon Manufacturing is committed to delivering high-performance workholding solutions that enhance machining accuracy and efficiency. All Dillon products are made in the USA and adhere to ISO 9000:2008 certification standards, ensuring top-tier quality and reliability.
