A V-Block is a precision metalworking tool used to securely hold cylindrical or round workpieces (like rods, shafts, or pipes) during machining, inspection, or marking operations. It features a V-shaped groove (usually 90°) on its top surface that supports the round object, ensuring stable positioning and accurate alignment. V-Blocks are commonly made of hardened steel or cast iron and are often used in pairs with clamps to prevent workpiece movement during operations such as drilling, grinding, or measurement.
