Value Collection 285-2406 Magnetic V-block 90 Degree

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 285-2406 is a magnetic V-block used to hold and position cylindrical workpieces during machining, inspection, and layout operations. It features a 90-degree V angle and accepts round stock up to 1-3/4 inches in diameter. The magnetic base holds the block securely to ferrous surfaces, freeing both hands for scribing, measuring, or drilling. Overall dimensions are 4.88 inches in length, 2.36 inches in width, and 2-7/8 inches in height. Machinists, tool and die makers, and precision measurement technicians are the primary users of this type of tooling block.

This V-block is suited for use in machine shops, toolrooms, and metrology applications where cylindrical parts need to be held at a consistent reference angle. It is sold individually and is appropriate for benchtop setups requiring stable workholding without the use of clamps. The magnetic feature makes it practical for use on surface plates, mill tables, and similar ferrous work surfaces.

Key Features

• 90-degree V angle provides accurate cylindrical workpiece positioning
• Maximum V capacity of 1-3/4 inches accommodates a wide range of round stock sizes
• Magnetic base secures the block to ferrous surfaces without additional clamping
• Overall height of 2-7/8 inches with a footprint of 4.88 inches by 2.36 inches
• Sold individually for flexible toolroom purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose magnetic V-block for use on ferrous surface plates, milling machine tables, and similar flat ferrous work surfaces where cylindrical workholding is required.

Installation Notes

Placement and use of this V-block does not require permanent installation. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and free of chips or burrs before placing the block to maintain accurate positioning. Engage the magnetic hold-down on a stable ferrous surface before seating the workpiece. Inspect the V-groove edges for nicks or contamination that could affect part seating accuracy prior to each use.
