A vee block is a device usually used to secure round or cylindrical stock.The ‘V’ cradles the work and provides two points of contact between it and the workpiece.
Cross-drilling
Vee blocks are particularly useful when you need to cross-drill a metal bar.
They ensure that the drill bit is positioned perfectly above the centre of the part.
Rectangular stock
Sometimes, you may need to secure a rectangular part at an angle underneath your machine.Although they are primarily used to hold cylindrical parts, vee blocks can also support rectangular or square stock.
Vee blocks are effective workholding tools that can be used in a variety of grinding, milling or drilling operations.
Vee blocks can also be used in the layout stages of preparing a part for machining.
