A machinists V block in its simplest form is a block of metal with a V shaped (usually 90 degree V ) groove cut into it ( typically with a small square notch at the bottom of the V running its full length )

It is machined with high precision and usually hardened to prevent excessive wear.

It is used to hold materials such as round bar securely while machining it. Imagine placing a round bar on a flat surface and trying to hold it while you try to drill a hole through it.

the block may have other grooves to permit secure attachment to the work surface and also to accommodate a horse show shaped clamp to hold the work in in the V
