Value Collection 285-2075 V-block 1.75 in 90 Degree Aluminum

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 285-2075 is a single aluminum V-block used for holding, positioning, and inspecting cylindrical workpieces during machining, grinding, layout, and inspection operations. It features a 90-degree V-angle and accepts round stock up to 1.75 inches in diameter. The block measures 4.375 inches in overall length, 2.375 inches in overall width, and 1.875 inches in overall height. Weighing approximately 2.43 pounds, this non-magnetic aluminum construction keeps the block lightweight while providing stable support on surface plates, mill tables, or inspection benches. Machinists, toolmakers, and quality technicians are the primary users.

This V-block is suited for general-purpose metalworking and inspection tasks in machine shops, tool rooms, and production environments. It is used when a workpiece must be held at a consistent rotational reference point for layout scribing, drilling, grinding, or dimensional inspection. The individual unit is sold as a single block rather than as a matched pair, making it a practical replacement or supplemental piece for existing setups that require only one block.

Key Features

• 90-degree V-angle for stable, repeatable cylindrical workpiece seating
• 1.75 inch maximum capacity accommodates common round stock and shaft diameters
• Aluminum construction keeps weight low at approximately 2.43 pounds
• Non-magnetic material suits use near sensitive instruments or magnetic-sensitive parts
• Compact footprint at 4.375 x 2.375 x 1.875 inches fits tight bench and surface plate setups
• Sold as an individual block for flexible purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose V-block for standard metalworking, inspection, and layout applications. Compatible with surface plates, mill tables, and workbenches that accommodate a block footprint of 4.375 x 2.375 inches.

Installation Notes

Placement and use require no power source or trade licensing, but the block should be seated on a clean, flat reference surface to maintain accuracy. Inspect the V-groove and base surfaces for burrs or debris before use to avoid measurement or positioning errors. Clamps or straps are typically used to secure the workpiece in the V-groove during active machining operations. Follow your shop safety procedures when working with rotating machinery near any fixturing device.
