Nakkaa V Block 23-Hole Stainless Steel Hardened Tooling Block

Description

Product Overview

The Nakkaa V Block is a high‑precision tooling component designed for a wide range of industrial applications. Crafted from precision‑grade tool stainless steel, the block undergoes a rigorous heat‑treatment and case‑hardening process that achieves a hardness rating of HRC 56‑62, ensuring exceptional durability and wear resistance. The block measures 6.97 x 4.88 x 2.48 inches and weighs a mere 0.04 ounces, making it lightweight yet robust enough to withstand the rigors of heavy machining, woodworking, and metalworking environments. Its design incorporates 23 meticulously positioned holes, five of which are tapped to 3/8‑16 threads, while the remaining holes remain untapped for versatile drilling options. The cross‑drilling layout reduces material weight without compromising structural integrity, delivering a balance of strength and efficiency that is rare in comparable V blocks. Additional specifications include a squareness tolerance of 0.0003 inches, parallelism of +/- 0.0003 inches, and a height accuracy within +/- 0.0003 inches when paired, guaranteeing repeatable precision for critical alignment tasks.

Usage

This V block excels in a variety of real‑world scenarios. Machinists will appreciate the reliable positioning of holes for jig and fixture setups, allowing for rapid repeatable drilling and tapping operations on CNC machines and manual mills. Woodworkers can use the block as a stable base for precise edge routing, dovetail cutting, and mortise‑and‑tenon joinery, benefiting from the hardened steel surface that resists dents from hand tools. Metalworkers find the block indispensable for aligning workpieces during welding, plasma cutting, and surface grinding, where the block’s dimensional stability ensures consistent results. The lightweight nature of the block makes it easy to transport between job sites, while the hardened surface endures the impact of hammer blows and clamp pressures without deformation. Whether in a small workshop or a large production floor, the Nakkaa V Block provides a dependable platform for tasks that demand exact alignment, repeatable hole placement, and long‑term durability.

FAQ

What is the difference between tapped and untapped holes on this V block?

The tapped holes are pre‑threaded to 3/8‑16, allowing you to insert bolts or screws directly without additional threading. Untapped holes are provided for custom drilling, giving you flexibility to match specific project requirements.

Can the V block be used with both metric and imperial tools?

Yes. While the tapped holes are sized for 3/8‑16 imperial threads, the untapped holes can accommodate metric or imperial drill bits, making the block compatible with a wide range of tooling standards.

How does the hardness rating affect performance?

A hardness rating of HRC 56‑62 means the stainless‑steel surface is highly resistant to deformation, wear, and surface damage. This ensures the block retains its dimensional accuracy even after repeated use in demanding environments.

Is the V block suitable for high‑speed CNC applications?

Absolutely. The block’s precise tolerances, hardened surface, and stable geometry make it ideal for high‑speed CNC milling, drilling, and tapping where repeatability and accuracy are critical.

What kind of support does Nakkaa provide after purchase?
