Cast Iron Square Hollow Blocks are made of high tensile cast iron properly seasoned against distortion. They are wildly used in machine shop for set up in machine operations, also used as height blocks for scribing and inspection, or for building up the height of components on machine tables. The flatness and perpendicularity between table face and top face with vertical working surface as per request. Our box angle plates meet or exceed the requirements set forth by various National and International Standards.
OEM or ODM service: we offer a wide range of services from standard Cast Iron Square Boxes/Blocks to customized and specifically designed as per loading requirement.
Calibration Certificate: EX-works inspection reports offered by our Quality Inspection Department are included with every surface plate, “Calibration Certificate” is available upon request for an additional charge.
Delivery Costs: calculated during the checkout process.
The cast iron square block is primarily used for testing, marking, and verifying the parallelism and perpendicularity of various parts. It is a solid cube with six working surfaces, typically made of cast iron or steel, with one face featuring a V-slot for versatile applications. Its hollow construction helps reduce weight while maintaining rigidity, making it easier to handle during repeated positioning and fixture work.
Key Uses:
· Layouts and machine setups
· Tooling and inspection
· Measurement and scribing
· Equipment installation
· Industrial engineering and construction
This inspection square hollow block is a multi-functional tool, providing precision and reliability in both workshop and industrial environments. Its durable cast iron or steel construction ensures long-term stability and accuracy.

· Faster, safer handling on the shop floor thanks to the lighter hollow form — ideal for repetitive set-ups.
· Consistent squareness and stable reference faces reduce rework and improve assembly accuracy.
· Versatile: use as support/fixture blocks, for parallelism/verticality checks, as datum blocks during assembly, or as a precision base for part marking.
This cast iron square hollow block is suitable for machine tool setup, precision marking, component height adjustment, inspection work, and assembly reference positioning. It is an ideal support block for workshops that need reliable squareness, stable reference faces, and repeatable positioning accuracy.
