Making a Pair of HEAVY DUTY V-Blocks

We need a pair of V-blocks 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 V-blocks just aren’t handling the setup of larger and heavier jobs that we do on the milling machine. In this video we show the step-by-step process of turning high tensile steel plate into a pair of heavy duty parallel V-blocks. 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 v-blocks to the bed of the milling machine. We also drill and counterbore the holes that will be used to bolt the v-blocks onto the t-slots of the machine. These shop made V-blocks are not only heavy duty and solid but will save so much time in setups!
In this video we are using:
- Hafco BM-63VE Milling machine

I have always wanted to try turning wood. And now I would like to try using a lathe after watching your videos. A good friend used to be a tool maker. He was good on a lathe. He used to make the patterns, or whatever you call them, from which they produced Hornby model trains. He used to do a lot of spark erosion jobs. Haven't seen you do any of them yet. You can create some interesting shapes. Probably all done by CNC machines these days. Enjoying your videos a lot.

I had a bet with myself to see if Kurtis would face the bottom side sequentially or simetrically. I am glad that he did it simetrically... I got the OCD chills.

I've been waiting all week for the CEE team. I have probably re watched 30+ of your vids this week. ( That's the ups side of not being able to sleep ). Keep the great content coming, I hope you gett a couple of days R and R during the festive session.

Problem is, most firms would just go out and purchase the tool then pop the cost of the tool onto the customer, then end up with the tool for free. I admire Kurtis's honesty.
