HB - Conventional hard top jaws

Traditional hard top jaws (type HB) are primarily used to clamp rough or pre-turned workpieces.

WBL - Soft top jaws

Soft jaws (type WBL) are used for the accurate clamping
of already machined work pieces, on which clamping surfaces
should not be damaged.
These jaws are turned, by the user, under clamping pressure,
to the respective clamping diameter to ensure extremely
high accuracy and repeatability.
