V BLOCK SET
Holding cylindrical workpieces stable during drilling, layout, or inspection often poses a major challenge. Round parts easily roll, slip, or tilt, which leads to inaccurate measurements and machining errors. A V Block Set solves this stability problem completely. It features precision-ground 90-degree V-grooves that hold round shafts and tubes firmly in place during critical shop operations.
Key Features of a Precision V Block Set
This essential workholding tool offers specific design advantages built for heavy workshop use:
-
Precision-Ground Surfaces: Matched pairs feature ultra-flat sides and accurate V-grooves for reliable alignment.
-
Hardened Steel Construction: Durable alloy steel protects against surface wear, scratches, and heavy impacts.
-
Integrated Clamping Clamps: Adjustable top clamps secure round parts tightly inside the V-groove without slipping.
-
Matched Pair Precision: Manufactured in identical pairs to support long cylindrical workpieces evenly along their length.
Primary Industrial Applications
Machinists, inspectors, and toolmakers rely on these blocks across various manufacturing tasks:
-
Shaft Inspection: Measure roundness, runout, and concentricity on cylindrical parts using a dial indicator.
-
Precision Layout Work: Scribe exact centerlines and angle reference points onto round stock accurately.
-
Drilling and Milling Support: Secure round tubes and rods firmly under machine spindles to prevent rotation.
-
Grinding Operations: Hold cylindrical pins steady during surface grinding and finishing processes.
Simple Steps for Maintenance and Longevity
Follow these simple maintenance steps to preserve original surface accuracy over time:
-
Clean Before Use: Wipe away protective grease, dust, and metal chips using a clean lint-free cloth.
-
Inspect for Burrs: Check the V-grooves visually for nicks or metal burrs before clamping workpieces.
-
Clamp Evenly: Apply firm, equal pressure on both clamps to prevent tilting or uneven workpiece grip.
-
Clean After Work: Wipe off cutting fluids, oils, and fingerprints immediately after finishing your job.
-
Coat with Protective Oil: Apply a thin layer of rust-preventive oil before storing blocks in their case.
