Description

New to GRS, these Cylinder Blocks™ by Mitch Moschetti are innovative fixture blocks for jewelers, engravers and stonesetters.

The cylindrical cross-section allows for 30° rotation to either side for the standard blocks, and up to 50° for the proportionately thicker models, while providing opposing parallel surfaces for solid clamping. With Cylinder Blocks™, almost any point on almost any piece can be positioned at its optimum working angle.

Essential for microscope work, but extremely handy any time you need better access, visibility and control. Compatible with any fixturing medium, the wooden blocks can also be easily shaped to custom-fit most any part.

In response to industry requests, all Cylinder Blocks™ now have Thermo-Grooves™. As you can see in the above photo, these angled grooves are specially designed to accommodate the use of thermo-set plastic fixturing such as GRS Thermo-Loc (#003-667). The dovetail cross-section takes advantage of the fact that these materials shrink slightly as they cool, tightly gripping the block and solidly anchoring your workpiece.

Please note: Cylinder Blocks™ may have small nail holes, finger-joints, and other minor cosmetic imperfections. In an ongoing effort to be environmentally sensitive, scrap lumber from the construction industry is used as much as is practical. These do not affect the performance of the product.
