Troubleshooting
Workpiece is not held securely.
Ensure the clamp is properly seated on the V-block and tightened sufficiently. Check that the workpiece diameter is appropriate for the V-groove size.
Difficulty achieving perfect alignment.
Verify that both the V-block and the workpiece are clean. Ensure the V-groove is free of debris. Confirm that the blocks are placed on a flat, stable surface.
Clamp is stiff or difficult to move.
Apply a small amount of light machine oil or lubricant to the sliding surfaces of the clamp and V-block. Clean off any excess.
