Imagine starting a machining job knowing your setup is spot-on from the get-go. No more fumbling with makeshift spacers or worrying about misalignment—these 1-2-3 precision steel blocks change that. At 1 inch by 2 inches by 3 inches, they're the go-to tool for machinists who demand accuracy in their daily work.
In a busy shop, time lost to imprecise positioning adds up fast. Standard blocks often shift or lack the fine tolerances needed for high-precision tasks like milling or drilling. That's where these come in: a pair of robust steel blocks designed specifically to hold your workpiece firmly and predictably.
Made from hardened steel, these blocks withstand the rigors of heavy use without deforming. Each block features 23 precisely placed 1/4-20 threaded holes—11 on the ends and sides—for versatile fixturing options. They're ground to within 0.0002 inches, ensuring you get consistent results every time. Whether you're aligning parts on a mill or setting up for EDM work, their flat, parallel surfaces make alignment a breeze.
Using these blocks means fewer retries and smoother operations. Picture clamping a component securely for a series of identical cuts, or using them as parallels in your vise for perfectly level grinding. The threaded holes let you bolt them down or attach stops, adapting to whatever project you're tackling. Over time, they save you not just effort but materials too, by reducing errors that lead to scrap.
From hobbyist garages to professional machine shops, these blocks fit right in. Set them up for layout work on a surface plate, or pair them with clamps for holding irregular shapes during inspection. They're especially handy for tasks requiring heights in 1-inch increments, like checking squareness or tramming your machine head. And at a compact size, they store easily in your toolbox, always ready when you need them.
Invest in tools that work as hard as you do. These 123 blocks aren't just accessories—they're the foundation for precision you can count on, project after project.
