Magnetic V Block Otoolling 3-Side 2.875″ High x 2.36″ Wide x 3.5″ Deep

Description

Product Overview

The Otoolling Magnetic V Block is engineered for professionals who demand unwavering stability and precision in their calibration and machining workflows. Constructed from hardened steel, the block features a meticulously ground flat surface and a smooth V‑channel that guarantee a true, repeatable reference plane for every operation. The three‑sided magnetic system—integrated into the top, bottom, and V‑channel faces—delivers uniform magnetic force, ensuring that workpieces remain firmly seated regardless of orientation. A conveniently placed on/off toggle switch allows the user to engage or disengage the magnetic field in an instant, eliminating the need for external fixtures or clamps. With dimensions of 2.875″ high, 2.36″ wide, and 3.5″ deep, the block offers a compact footprint that fits comfortably on any workbench while still providing ample surface area for a variety of part sizes.

Every detail of the block reflects Otoolling’s commitment to durability and performance. The magnetic core is encapsulated in a protective coating that resists corrosion and wear, extending the life of the tool even in demanding shop environments. The block weighs 3.9 pounds, providing the right balance of heft for stability without becoming cumbersome to handle. Its precision‑ground surfaces are tested to meet industry standards for flatness and perpendicularity, making it an ideal reference tool for dimensional calibration, technical measurement, and equipment alignment tasks.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the Magnetic V Block excels in a wide range of applications. In a calibration laboratory, technicians can use the block as a stable base for gauge blocks, micrometers, and dial indicators, ensuring that measurements are taken from a perfectly flat reference surface. In a machining setting, the block serves as a reliable holder for small workpieces during drilling, tapping, or light milling operations, allowing the operator to focus on tool paths without worrying about part movement. The three‑sided magnetic attraction also makes it suitable for inspection stations where parts need to be examined from multiple angles without repositioning fixtures.

Because the block includes an on/off switch, users can quickly secure a part for a single operation and then release it without the need for additional tools. This feature is especially valuable in high‑throughput environments where time savings translate directly into productivity gains. The compact size means the block can be stored in a drawer or mounted on a tool rack, keeping the workspace organized and clutter‑free. Whether you are a mechanical engineer, a quality control specialist, or a hobbyist machinist, the Magnetic V Block adapts to your workflow and enhances accuracy across a spectrum of tasks.

FAQ

Can the magnetic force be adjusted?

The magnetic force is fixed by the internal magnet, but the on/off switch allows you to engage or disengage the field instantly. For applications requiring variable force, you may combine the block with external magnetic shims.

What size workpieces can be held?

The block can securely hold workpieces up to the dimensions of the V‑channel (approximately 2.36″ wide) and up to 3.5″ in depth. Smaller parts fit comfortably on the flat surface, while larger items can be positioned against the magnetic faces.

Is the block suitable for high‑temperature environments?

The block is made from hardened steel and can tolerate typical shop temperatures. However, prolonged exposure to extreme heat may affect the magnetic properties, so it is recommended to avoid direct contact with hot surfaces above 200°F (93°C).

How do I maintain the magnetic surface?

Keep the magnetic faces clean and free of debris. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the protective coating.

What is the warranty coverage?

Otoolling offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If you encounter any issues, contact our support team for replacement or repair options.

With its blend of precision engineering, user‑friendly features, and robust construction, the Otoolling Magnetic V Block is a valuable addition to any calibration or machining toolkit.
