Starrett 52592 V-block Set 2 in Max Capacity Matched Pair

Product Description

The STARRETT 52592 is a matched-pair V-block set machined from hardened steel for precision workholding and inspection tasks. Each block measures 2.5 inches in overall length, 3 inches in overall width, and 2 inches in overall height. The V-groove accepts round stock up to 2 inches in diameter and is ground at dual angles of 45 degrees and 90 degrees, giving the technician flexibility when holding cylindrical or square workpieces. Two clamps are included to secure the workpiece firmly against the V during layout, drilling, or inspection operations. The hardened steel construction resists wear and maintains dimensional accuracy over repeated use.

V-blocks of this type are standard toolroom and machine shop equipment used by machinists, toolmakers, quality control inspectors, and maintenance technicians. The 52592 set is suited for benchtop use on surface plates or machine tables when checking shaft runout, scribing centerlines, or fixturing round stock for drilling and milling. The matched-pair design ensures both blocks hold the workpiece level and concentric. Applications span light manufacturing, precision maintenance, and trade apprenticeship programs where accurate cylindrical workholding is required.

Key Features

• Dual V-angle ground at 45 degrees and 90 degrees for versatile workholding
• Accepts round or square stock up to 2 inches maximum capacity
• Hardened steel construction for wear resistance and long-term accuracy
• Sold as a matched pair to ensure consistent, level support across both blocks
• Includes two clamps to secure workpieces during layout or inspection
• Non-magnetic construction suitable for use near sensitive measuring instruments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard toolroom V-block set compatible with surface plates, granite inspection tables, and machine table setups where round or square stock up to 2 inches in diameter requires precise fixturing.

Installation Notes

V-blocks are set up by machinists and inspection technicians and require no permanent installation. Clean the contact surfaces of both blocks and the work surface before placing to prevent measurement error caused by chips or debris. Secure the workpiece clamps evenly to avoid deflecting the part. Do not exceed the stated 2-inch maximum capacity, as overloading can damage the V-groove geometry and compromise measurement accuracy.
