V-5V V-block — fine-grained cast iron, compact 51.5 x 130 x 79.5 mm (Vertex)

The V-5V V-block is a compact precision fixture for securing cylindrical workpieces during inspection and light machining.

• Fine-grained cast iron construction
• Precision alignment, accuracy 0.05
• Compact 51.5 x 130 x 79.5 mm footprint
• Mass 4.3 kg for stable clamping

Durable base for consistent setups

The solid fine-grained cast iron body delivers stability and natural vibration damping, which reduces chatter during measurement and light machining. At 4.3 kg, the block provides a steady platform that minimises movement without additional clamping, improving repeatability across successive operations. The compact 51.5 x 130 x 79.5 mm profile keeps the fixture unobtrusive on the bench while providing reliable support for round components, translating into fewer re-clamps and shorter setup times.

Precise alignment that simplifies measurement

Engineered as a precision V-block, the geometry ensures repeatable seating of cylindrical parts for inspection and marking. The specified accuracy 0.05 gives a clear performance target for alignment-sensitive tasks; when combined with a rigid base and the vee profile, this enables reproducible positioning for gauging and non-critical machining. Built for workshop workflows, the design reduces the need for secondary fixturing and accelerates inspection procedures while maintaining consistent results.

Practical workshop advantages and compatibility

The compact vee block suits bench-top use, measuring tasks and light holding duties where a stable reference is required. The weight and material composition support steady contact with measuring instruments and clamping devices, aiding straight-forward use with calipers and height gauges. Manufactured by Vertex, the component integrates into quality-control and set-up routines, offering a dependable solution for engineers, toolroom staff and maintenance technicians seeking robust, easy-to-use fixturing without excessive bulk.
