I needed a way to secure a 3/4" cylinder with a 1" head, so that I could machine a groove into it. The normal U-shaped clamp that comes with the v-blocks would have interfered with the spindle of the mill. I came across a mention of someone who made a C-shape that slid into the grooves on the side of a v-block, and tapped it for a hold-down bar. It worked out nicely. I can clamp it in the vise, and mill my slot.
