Vme Vb-05 1 Capacity V Block And Clamp Pair - 1-1/4 Wide

I did need to surface grind the flats to get better tolerance. I don't machine for NASA but I like better than avg results. These worked well even out of the container. The clamps work decent. Good casting but, cheap materials so, they flex a bit. Overall I like these so far.

You get what you pay for. Lots of burr on edges, clamps are “HUGE” and look bigger than the v block itself. I’ll have to check for squareness, but I doubt it will be square all around.

The blocks work, but the clams needed work. The crinkle coating on the claps was applied extra heavy so I had to run it over with a scotch brite pad to get it to fit I nto the block’s raceways. After all that, one of the clamps fingers was too wide insert into the raceway, so I had to hit it on my grinding stone. Now it works great. For the price and for my uses, I can’t complain.

Exactly what was advertised. Great product.

They are OK. Not great that's for sure. Made in India. Price is right though. If I could afford to buy american or Japanese I would have.

These V blocks worked very well for me in drilling set screw holes in brass tubing. The only issue I had was that since the V blocks are so short, the long screw on the hold down clamp interfered with my drill press chuck. I wasted time trying to find the proper metric screw to replace it. Surprise! The clamp uses a standard 1/4" thread screw, so I changed to a shorter bolt that I had on hand. It would be handy if the two blocks could be accurately fastened into one longer block.

Clamps must be filed to fit blocks ! Spend. The extra couple bucks and buy from a different source it will save you time and frustration

Comes in a decent packaging with enough funky red grease/ oil to provide it adequate protection from an accidental under water submersion lasting ten years. The v blocks them selves are of good quality with decent surface finish. I have not used the provided clamps but their build quality is questionable and the tapped hole for the stud was made with a severely worn out tap which gives it sloppy threads.
