About Positrol

When you're spending dinner with your machine…
the standard jaw chuck will not do.

Positrol Inc., a privately held small business, was established in 1961 to design and build workholding for the manufacturing industry. We have grown over the years in physical size and sales volume.

That is a savings of 825 pieces per month and we can make the production quantity with only one shift in operation. That gave us a total [savings] of $1,700 [a month]!

We run the machines with your Drawdown Chucks 24 hours/day and 6 days/week. Last year we were 24/7 with no problems.

When you are trying to hold .0002” just any workholding device will not do. To me this says a lot for the craftsmanship of the product you have supplied to us.
