Surface Plates, V-Blocks & Vices
Surface plates, V blocks and vices hold and support work during layout and inspection. This page lists granite surface plates with stands and accessories, V blocks, precision vices and straight edges. Stands and accessories are listed with the plates.
They are used in toolrooms and inspection areas as a flat datum for measurement. Consider the plate size and flatness, the stand height, the V block size, and the load that the plate must carry.
