Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are chuck jaws in a lathe machine?
Chuck jaws are lathe machine parts that securely hold the workpiece as it is machined. 3-jaw chucks center and are ideally suited to round or hexagonal workpieces, while 4-jaw chucks can have their jaws closed separately to hold irregular shapes with an extremely high level of accuracy.
2. What materials are chuck jaws made from?
At Accu-fix precision tools, chuck jaws are typically constructed of wear-resistant hardened steel on the outside. They make use of alloy or carbon steel for added strength, with soft jaws made of mild steel or aluminum to accommodate special workpieces for special machining.
3. How do self-centering jaws work?
Soft jaws are CNC machineable chuck jaws of aluminum or mild steel employed in CNC machines to hold parts with precision. They enhance grip, precision, and minimize part damage.
4. What are soft jaws and why are they important in CNC machining?
If you are looking for soft jaws, they are machinable chuck jaws in CNC machinery employed for accurate gripping of parts. They possess a accurate fit, minimize deformation, and provide repeatability—extremely helpful in finishing operations. Though they need to be re-machined for new parts, they provide high accuracy in production.

5. What are independent jaws and when are they used?
At Accu-fix precision tools, independent jaws on 4-jaw chucks are set independently, making them perfect for gripping non-round or irregular workpieces. They are center-accurate through a dial indicator, which is ideal for off-center or custom machining applications.
