What are the types of V-blocks?
Content
Standard V Blocks | ||||
Standard prismatic blocks are used to support a cylindrical workpiece so that it can be accurately machined. | ||||
V-blocks for square or round workpieces | ||||
Some V-Blocks can be used to hold square or rectangular workpieces in addition to round workpieces. | ||||
The clamps on these V-blocks have 90 and 45 degree threaded holes for holding square and cylindrical parts. | ||||
V-blocks | ||||
V-blocks are used to support very small cylindrical workpieces. | ||||
Square V Blocks | ||||
The square V-shaped blocks have four V-shaped channels of different sizes to accommodate a variety of workpiece sizes. Since these blocks do not have clamping devices, some of their surfaces are magnetic to hold metal blanks in place. | ||||
Magnetic V Blocks | ||||
Instead of clips, the parts are held in place on magnetic V-blocks with a strong magnetic force. For more information see: What is a magnetic V-block? | ||||
Inclined V Blocks | ||||
Tilt V-blocks (or adjustable corner stops) are used to position a square workpiece at an angle before it is machined. The angle of the block is adjustable depending on the needs of the user and is securely fixed in this position. |
