Value Collection 285-2412 V-block 90 Degree Magnetic

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 285-2412 is a magnetic steel V-block used to hold and position cylindrical workpieces during inspection, grinding, layout, and machining operations. The block features a 90-degree V-angle and accommodates round stock from 3/16 inch minimum up to 2-3/4 inch maximum diameter. An integrated magnetic chuck secures the block to ferrous machine tables and surface plates without clamping hardware. At 9.5 pounds, the unit provides a stable, rigid base suitable for precision work in tool rooms, maintenance shops, and production environments. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die technicians are the primary users of this type of tooling.

This V-block is suited for use on surface plates, magnetic chuck tables, and mill tables where accurate cylindrical part positioning is required. Typical applications include round-stock layout, shaft inspection, and setup work prior to grinding or milling operations. The unit is sold individually rather than as a matched pair, which is important to confirm before ordering when a paired setup is needed for long workpieces.

Key Features

• 90-degree V-angle for standard cylindrical workpiece location
• Accepts stock from 3/16 inch minimum to 2-3/4 inch maximum capacity
• Integrated magnetic chuck for tool-free mounting to ferrous surfaces
• Steel construction for rigidity and long service life
• Overall dimensions: 4 inches long, 3 inches wide, 3-3/4 inches tall
• Sold as an individual unit, not as a pair

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style V-block for use on standard ferrous surface plates, magnetic chuck tables, and precision machine setups requiring a 90-degree V-angle and up to 2-3/4 inch workpiece capacity.

Installation Notes

Machinists and tool-room technicians should ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and free of burrs before placing the magnetic V-block. Disengage any machine power and secure all moving axes before positioning workpieces in the block. Do not use the magnetic chuck as the sole workholding method on surfaces where magnetic adhesion may be compromised by chips, coolant, or non-ferrous materials. Inspect the V-groove edges for nicks or raised metal before use, as surface imperfections can affect positioning accuracy.
