Cast Iron V-Block, 3L x 2-3/8H x 1-1/4T Inch, 1-3/4 Inch V-Width, Precision Ground Matched Pair

Description

Product Overview

The OZAR Cast Iron V Block is engineered for the exacting demands of modern industrial calibration and inspection. Crafted from seasoned cast iron, each block measures 3 inches in length, 2-3/8 inches in height, and 1-1/4 inches in thickness, with a V‑width of 1-3/4 inches. The surfaces are precision ground to maintain a parallelism tolerance of 30 microns (0.0012 inches) across the full 6‑inch length, delivering the accuracy required for high‑precision layout and measurement tasks. The blocks are supplied as numbered matched pairs, guaranteeing that each pair shares identical geometry for repeatable results. This combination of robust material, tight tolerances, and matched‑pair consistency makes the OZAR V Block a reliable workhorse for dimensional calibration, machine setup, and quality‑control environments.

Usage

Designed for use in machine shops, tool rooms, and calibration labs, the OZAR V Block excels in a variety of real‑world scenarios. Technicians employ the blocks to set up milling machines, verify the squareness of workpieces, and establish reference planes for precision machining. The durable cast iron construction resists wear from repeated contact with hardened steel tools, ensuring long service life even in high‑volume production settings. Because the blocks are matched pairs, users can quickly swap one block for the other without recalibrating, saving valuable time during routine maintenance or when multiple workstations require identical reference surfaces. The V‑groove accommodates a range of cutter diameters, making the block versatile for both small‑scale prototyping and large‑scale manufacturing operations.

Why Choose Us

OZAR stands behind every V Block with a commitment to quality that begins at the casting stage. Each block is forged from high‑grade cast iron, then seasoned to relieve internal stresses and improve dimensional stability.
