V Block Fixture

thingiverse

V-blocks are used for holding and indexing round parts for milling or drilling. While these blocks aren't as rigid or precise as hardened steel versions, they're perfect for low precision cross drilling, filing, and finishing. This block can be used to make any number of simple jigs and fixtures. I wouldn't use this to hold a part for machining, but it's great for a drill press or assembly application. This block is designed to fit my entire ecosystem of 3D printed fixtures: 4"x4" Fixture Plate --- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3749201 4"x8" Fixture Plate --- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3755040 8"x8" Fixture Plate --- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3763608 Compatible 123 Block --- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3675399 1x2x.75 Fixture Block --- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3761790 1x3x.75 Fixture Block --- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3762813 Cam Clamp --- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3763199 The holes are spaced a half-inch apart.
