V-Block Thomletha Hard Steel Full Angle Clamp 0.0003in Accuracy

Description

Product Overview

The Thomletha V Block is engineered from premium hardened steel to meet the demanding requirements of precision layout, machining, and grinding operations. Its full‑angle design incorporates a built‑in clamp that locks the workpiece securely, eliminating movement and ensuring repeatable accuracy down to 0.0003 inch. The stemless construction reduces the number of components, providing a solid, rigid platform that resists deformation under heavy loads. With dimensions of 3‑1/2″ L x 1‑7/8″ W x 1‑7/8″ H, the block fits comfortably on most workbenches while offering ample surface area for a variety of fixtures. The chrome finish not only enhances visual appeal but also protects the steel from corrosion, extending the service life of the tool. Designed for industrial and scientific environments, this V Block delivers the consistency and durability required for high‑volume production and meticulous research applications.

Usage

In a machine shop, the V Block serves as a reliable reference surface for aligning shafts, setting up fixtures, and positioning components before machining. Its accurate angle and integrated clamp allow technicians to secure irregularly shaped parts without the need for additional jigs, saving time and reducing setup errors. For grinding operations, the block provides a stable base that maintains the workpiece orientation, resulting in smoother finishes and tighter tolerances. In calibration labs, the V Block is used as a dimensional reference for verifying the accuracy of measurement instruments, thanks to its certified tolerance of 0.0003 inch. The tool is equally effective in educational settings, where students learn the fundamentals of precision engineering and learn to appreciate the importance of material stability and accurate geometry.

FAQ

What material is the V Block made from?

The V Block is fabricated from hardened steel that has been heat‑treated to achieve a high level of hardness and wear resistance. The chrome plating adds an extra layer of protection against rust and surface damage, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor workshop environments.

How does the built‑in clamp improve workflow?

The built‑in clamp secures the workpiece directly to the V Block, removing the need for separate clamping devices. This integration reduces setup time, minimizes the risk of slippage, and ensures that the workpiece maintains the exact angle required for precise machining or grinding operations.

Can this V Block be used for calibration purposes?

Yes, the V Block’s certified tolerance of 0.0003 inch makes it an excellent reference tool in calibration labs. It can be used to verify the accuracy of measurement instruments, gauge blocks, and other precision equipment, providing confidence in the reliability of your measurement system.

Is the V Block compatible with standard workbench accessories?

The block’s dimensions and flat surfaces are designed to be compatible with common workbench accessories such as magnetic bases, vise jaws, and universal clamps. Its compact size allows it to be positioned alongside other fixtures without crowding the workspace.

What warranty and support does Thomletha provide?

Thomletha offers a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects for a period of one year from the date of purchase.
