We need a pair of Vblocks that are heavy duty and easy to setup so we’re going to make them! This has been a project on our list for a while because the standard cast iron Vblocks just aren’t handling the setup of larger and heavier jobs that we do on the milling machine. In this video we show the stepbystep process of turning high tensile steel plate into a pair of heavy duty parallel Vblocks. First, we need to do milling and face cutting to get our surfaces machined true. We then machine a slot and drill holes for key steel that will be used to align the vblocks to the bed of the milling machine. We also drill and counterbore the holes that will be used to bolt the vblocks onto the tslots of the machine. These shop made Vblocks are not only heavy duty and solid but will save so much time in setups!
