Dillon Manufacturing’s brass pie jaws firmly grip delicate workpieces without marring or distortion. According to the company, the full grip jaws provide a solid gripping surface, which yields more friction for drive with reduced part distortion. The brass provides a softer surface without marring or marking the workpiece’s surface. Standard parts are available to 32" in diameter with special heights, diameters and configurations, including a matching serration location which is perpendicular to the slots. Dillon claims the jaws are ideal for components fabricated from brass, aluminum, bronze and other softer, malleable alloys.
Dillon full-grip chuck jaws are made in the U.S. According to Dillon, they are ideal for high-speed machining, precision boring, tapping, drilling and finishing across all industrial markets. In addition to brass, Dillon Full Grip Pie Jaws are available in 6061 aluminum, 1018 steel and cast iron.
These wrap-around type top jaws reportedly distribute more of the gripping pressure across the workpiece, reducing part distortion. Dillon’s standard and custom full-grip jaws are available in serrated, tongue and groove serrated, Acme serrated and square serrated designs.
