V-Blocks

A V-block is a precision tool used in machining, metalworking, and inspection processes to hold cylindrical workpieces securely in place. It typically consists of a pair of blocks, each with a V-shaped groove along its length. When the two blocks are brought together, they form a V-shaped channel that holds a cylindrical or round workpiece in a stable position. Applications of V-blocks include:
Machining Operations: V-blocks are used for securely holding cylindrical workpieces during machining operations such as milling, drilling, grinding, and turning.
Inspection: V-blocks are used in inspection processes to check the roundness, concentricity, and other dimensional characteristics of cylindrical workpieces.
Assembly: V-blocks are employed in assembly processes where precise alignment of cylindrical components is necessary.
Toolroom Setup: In toolrooms and machine shops, V-blocks are used for setting up and aligning workpieces and tooling.
V-blocks come in various sizes and designs, including single V-blocks and double V-blocks, depending on the specific requirements of the application. They are valuable tools for achieving precision and accuracy in a variety of machining and inspection tasks.
