Magnum 1-3/8 x 1-5/8 x 1-3/4 Inch V-Block and Clamp Set (VBC138)
Achieve repeatable centerline accuracy when machining round stock with the Magnum VBC138 V-Block and Clamp Set. This mid-sized workholding tool provides a rigid, 90-degree V-groove that keeps workpieces perfectly leveled for drilling or milling. By providing a stable foundation that resists the side-loading forces of cutting tools, the VBC138 helps prevent scrapped parts due to workpiece slippage or misalignment, making it an essential tool for any shop performing precision work on cylindrical surfaces.
Features
- Symmetrical V-groove - ensures the centerline of the stock is aligned with the machine axis.
