Parallel blocks, pair M318.238.11 — 8 × 11 mm profile, 125 mm length (Metav IndustryLine)

The parallel blocks, pair M318.238.11 provide rigid, accurately ground supports for machining set-ups, inspection jigs and fixture assembly in metalworking environments.

• Hardened, finely ground special steel
• Height tolerance ±0.01 mm
• Compact 8 × 11 mm profile
• 125 mm length for workshop versatility

Precision where repeatability matters

These workshop parallels are manufactured to deliver consistent support during machining and inspection tasks. The specified height tolerance ±0.01 mm ensures that reference heights remain within tight limits, reducing rework and improving first-pass quality. For production environments where setup variation directly affects cycle times and scrap rates, the measurable improvement in repeatability translates into a more predictable process and lower overall cost per part.

Built to retain accuracy over time

Constructed from special steel, the blocks are hardened and finely ground to provide a wear-resistant contact surface and a flat, stable datum. The 8 × 11 mm cross-section balances rigidity and accessibility, while the 125 mm length gives adequate bearing area for typical workshop components. The treated surface minimises fretting and maintains flatness under regular clamping loads, so measurement references and fixture faces stay true for longer.

Faster set-up and versatile application

As a matched pair, these parallels are intended for quick integration into vises, milling fixtures and inspection benches. The compact profile and standard length make them suitable for small to medium assemblies, enabling faster alignment of workpieces and simpler transfer between machines. Conformance to DIN ISO 2768 provides clarity on general manufacturing tolerances, supporting straightforward interchangeability within common workshop practices.

Practical handling and storage benefits

The slim geometry and modest mass simplify handling and positioning during multi-step operations, while the finished surface reduces the risk of marring delicate parts. Lightweight portability supports agile workflows in job-shop environments without sacrificing stability at the contact face. If uncertainty arises over fitment or application, the product datasheet and Metav Werkzeuge’s technical advisors can advise on optimal fixturing strategies.
