V-Blocks are precision workholding tools designed to securely support and position cylindrical or irregularly shaped workpieces during machining, inspection, or marking tasks. Their V-shaped grooves allow for stable clamping of shafts, rods, and pipes, ensuring accuracy and repeatability.
Key Characteristics:
-
Secure Holding: V-shaped grooves hold round and irregular components firmly for accurate machining or inspection.
-
Variety: Available in standard, hardened, and magnetic versions to suit different workshop applications.
-
Precision: Ground surfaces and accurate alignment make them ideal for inspection with dial indicators and other measuring instruments.
-
Durability: Manufactured from hardened steel or cast iron, with some models featuring magnetic bases for added stability.
-
Versatility: Suitable for drilling, grinding, milling, marking, and inspection of cylindrical parts.
Common Uses:
-
Inspection: Holding shafts or pipes securely while checking with micrometers, gauges, or dial indicators.
-
Machining: Providing stable support for cylindrical workpieces during drilling, milling, or grinding operations.
-
Marking & Layout: Assisting in scribing accurate lines and centres on round stock.
-
Workholding: Acting as fixtures in conjunction with clamps or vises for precision workshop setups.
