The Vee body has two functions. The first function allows it to be used as a vee by screwing standoffs into the two female holes which are set 90° apart from each other a vee assembly can be created. The length of the standoffs can be increased to allow larger diameter workpieces to be located in the vee.
The second function allows it to be used as a 90° joint increasing the functionality of many of the fixture components, allowing them to be used in different orientations.
To create a vee support, standoff should be screwed into the female holes which are positioned at 90° from one another. The length and diameters of the standoff should be selected to best suit the component being supported. The standoff pillars are located and tightened in position by hand. The vee support is then fitted onto any of the fixture components female threads using the low head capscrew, tightened in position using the allen key provided. Typicaly the vee support assembly is fitted onto a standoff to allow it be used at a height away from the baseplate. Two vee assemblies are normally used together to provide a horizontal support.
The 90° joint is typically created by initially fixing the vee support to a standoff female thread using the low head capscrews, tightened in position using the allen key provided. Any of the other fixture components with male threads can then be screwed into the female thread and hand tightened in position to allow the component to be used at 90° from the supporting pillar.
In order to fully appreciate the way in which this component is used we recommend that you view the ‘typical applications page’ in the product catalogue, manual or on our website at http://www.leecostechnology.com
For general cleaning, a mild soap and water solution can be used applied with a cloth or sponge. For removal of grease or oily deposits methylated spirits can be applied with a cloth or sponge. In both cases the part should be finally rinsed in cold water and thoroughly dried.
