Fowler All-Angle V-Block and Clamp 52-475-050-0 1.3125″ Capacity

Description

Product Overview

The Fowler 52-475-050-0 all‑angle V‑block and clamp is engineered for precision machining environments where accuracy, durability, and versatility are paramount. Crafted from hardened, precision‑ground tool steel, this V‑block offers a robust 1.3125‑inch (33.4 mm) holding capacity, allowing users to securely position workpieces of various sizes. Its design incorporates four 3/8‑16 tapped holes—two on the bottom and one on each side—providing flexible mounting options for fixtures, pins, or drilling accessories. The V‑groove is centrally ground to .0003‑inch tolerance, ensuring consistent alignment and repeatable results across grinding, milling, and drilling operations. With dimensions of 3‑5/8″ length, 1‑7/8″ width, and 1‑7/8″ height (including the clamp), the unit balances a compact footprint with substantial strength, making it suitable for both benchtop and larger industrial setups.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of machining tasks, this V‑block excels in environments where precision and repeatability are critical. Machinists can employ it for grinding flat surfaces, milling slots, or drilling holes with exact positioning. The all‑angle capability allows the block to be oriented at various angles without sacrificing stability, enabling complex geometries and angled cuts that would be difficult with standard V‑blocks. In a production line, the tapped holes facilitate quick attachment of workholding accessories, reducing setup time and increasing throughput. The block’s hardened steel construction resists wear from abrasive grinding wheels and high‑speed milling cutters, ensuring a long service life even under demanding conditions. Whether used in aerospace component fabrication, automotive part machining, or general industrial maintenance, the Fowler V‑block provides reliable support for precision tasks.
