Brass Clamping Screw for Starrett V-Blocks

[Paul Jones]

I saw a neat protective brass cap to a V-block clamping screw while watching the YouTube video by Suburban Tool Inc about their jig grinder. The brass cap just slips over the tip of the steel clamping screw and is a much easier solution to my version using a brass replacement to the clamping screw. I made a pair of the protective brass caps and like how these work. Each cap is 0.375" long with a 0.375" diameter, bored to fit the steel clamping screw diameter and turned down with smaller diameter end for clamping.
