Jaw Options for the HDAS4 AND TM HULK - TM Technologies

We currently offer eight jaw assemblies for the HDAS-4 shrinker-stretcher (see drawings at right for examples of available styles). Please contact us for detailed information and pricing. Standard jaws start at approximately $1,375. (Complex jaws assemblies are signifi cantly higher in price.) Jaw surfaces are stippled for best traction on the metal. The stipple fi nish can be ordered in very fine (00), fine (0), medium (1), medium coarse (2), and coarse (3), depending on the thickness and hardness of the metals you are shrinking or stretching. When placing an order with us for jaw assemblies, you will need to specify the coarseness or fineness you need on your jaw surfaces. (Although we have some jaws in stock, nearly all jaws are “made-to-order,” so please allow approximately 4 weeks for your new jaws to be made.)
