Machined from 2024-grade aluminum, this round jaw uses a tongue and groove interface to mount on Northfield-style chucks up to 6 inches in diameter. The jaw set consists of 3 jaws with an overall diameter of 5.92 inches and an overall height of 2 inches. Soft jaws allow machinists to bore a custom grip profile to match a specific workpiece, reducing part movement and improving repeatability across a production run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AL362 is suited for machine shops running turning operations on CNC lathes or manual engine lathes where a custom-bored soft jaw is required. It handles both internal and external chucking applications, with a chucking diameter range of 0.75 inches to 5.75 inches for both modes. The aluminum construction keeps rotational mass low, making it appropriate for higher-speed turning applications where chuck balance matters. Typical users include CNC machinists, toolroom operators, and production turning specialists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSoft aluminum construction allows field-boring to a custom grip profile for precise part repeatability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTongue and groove interface for secure, repeatable jaw registration on compatible chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRound jaw shape suits a wide range of cylindrical and near-cylindrical workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInternal and external chucking range from 0.75 inches to 5.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2024-grade aluminum provides good machinability and strength-to-weight ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-jaw set configuration for standard three-jaw chuck installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with Northfield-style lathe chucks up to 6 inches maximum compatible chuck diameter.

Power down and lock out the lathe before seating or removing jaws from the chuck body. When boring soft jaws in place, use a light pre-load on the jaws against a bore ring or disk to eliminate jaw-seating error before taking the final bore pass. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures during setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJaw Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJaw Interface Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tongue and Groove\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Jaws\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Compatible Chuck Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\/Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.92 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Internal Chucking Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Internal Chucking Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum External Chucking Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum External Chucking Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31162902\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ABBOTT WORKHOLDING PRODUCTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: AL362\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ABBOTT WORKHOLDING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67910988300594,"sku":"AL362","price":206.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/45be748be675598468d3fd2054b46da4.jpg?v=1791202691","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/abbott-workholding-products-al362-soft-lathe-chuck-jaw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
