MSC Industrial V-Block & Clamp Set 91-312-9 7/16-13/16 Hardened Steel

Description

Product Overview

The MSC V Block Clamp Set (model 91-312-9) is engineered for professionals who demand precision, durability, and repeatable performance in dimensional calibration and machining applications. Each set contains two V‑Blocks and two matching clamps, all fabricated from hardened and ground tool steel that meets rigorous industry standards for wear resistance and dimensional stability. The V‑Blocks feature a 90° angle and a capacity range of 7/16 inch to 13/16 inch, allowing users to securely hold a wide variety of workpieces, from small components to larger assemblies. With overall dimensions of 1‑19/32″ long, 1‑1/4″ wide, and 1‑1/4″ high, the blocks provide a compact footprint while delivering the rigidity needed for high‑accuracy setups. The clamps are designed with ergonomic handles and precision‑machined jaws that lock tightly onto the V‑Blocks, ensuring consistent clamping force without slippage. This set is a versatile tool for calibration labs, quality control stations, and any environment where exact positioning is critical.

Usage

In a typical calibration workflow, the V‑Block Clamp Set is used to align and secure parts while measuring dimensions with micrometers, dial indicators, or coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). The 7/16‑13/16 inch capacity accommodates a broad spectrum of cylindrical, rectangular, and irregularly shaped components, making it suitable for tasks such as verifying shaft diameters, checking flatness of machined surfaces, and establishing reference planes for complex assemblies. The hardened steel construction ensures that the V‑Blocks maintain their geometry even after repeated use, reducing the need for frequent re‑inspection or replacement. Technicians in aerospace, automotive, and precision manufacturing sectors rely on this set to create repeatable setups that improve measurement confidence and reduce cycle time. Additionally, the compact size allows the blocks to be stored in tool chests or mounted on workbenches without consuming excessive space, facilitating quick access during high‑throughput production environments.
