Any material that has a Rockwell “C” hardness of 40 or softer. Aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, composites, plastics, mild and carbon steels, high nickel materials, inconel, titanium, stainless steels, tool steels have all been gripped and machined successfully with the TalonGrip Systems Jaws. Brittle materials like some plastics, ceramics and composites may develop cracks and chipping from the grips. You will have to determine for yourself if the Jaws and Grips will work in those types of materials.
