Farpoint Dovetail Radius Block - Meade 10 Inch SCT

Product Overview

These blocks are machined to match the Meade 10″ SCT — they fit that tube only — and work with the dovetail bar you already have. CNC-machined in the USA from black anodized aluminum.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do radius blocks do?
They bridge the gap between a flat dovetail bar and a round optical tube. Each set is machined to the exact curve of a specific tube, so the clamping load spreads across the contact surface instead of concentrating at the bolt holes.

Will these fit my telescope?
These are machined for the Meade 10″ SCT only. If your scope is a different model or size, choose the blocks matched to your tube — or email us and we'll point you to the right set.

Do I need anything else?
Just your existing D-size dovetail bar — the blocks install between the bar and your optical tube. Don't own a bar yet? The complete Meade 10″ kit includes the bar, blocks, and screws.
