		Custom Chucks Custom Design We custom design workholding solutions to fully address the parts features and workholding application. Some companies create “custom” chucks by altering a standard item to “make it work”; Skill-Craft takes a systematic approach to design a chuck custom to you – custom to your application and custom to your part. Whether you are replacing an existing chuck or having troubles with a current application, Skill-Craft engineers can provide you with the appropriate solution to your needs.

		Collets, Top Jaws & Locators Well known in the machine tool industry, workholding fixtures are one of the most perishable items. Workholding collets, chuck jaws, and other perishable tooling components is what Skill-Craft is all about. SC manufactures high quality, close tolerance replacement tooling for all brand name workholding fixtures. All major brand producers of workholding equipment supply replacement components for their tooling; however, it is not always convenient for them to do so on a timely, cost conscious basis. SC is dedicated to meeting the needs of those manufacturers who require quality tooling that is competitively priced and delivered in a timely fashion. Skill Craft was founded on solely producing workholding replacement parts. ...
