125 mm Parallel Gauge Pair 12×40 mm Hardened Precision Steel, Height Tolerance ±0.01 mm, DIN ISO 2768 - Metav IndustryLine

Benefit from a hardened, finely ground special steel construction and a tight height tolerance of ±0.01 mm for consistently repeatable setups; order the pair directly via Metav Werkzeuge or request guidance from our consultants for optimal fixturing.

Parallels, pair (12 x 40 mm, 125 mm length) — Metav IndustryLine

Parallels, pair (12 x 40 mm, 125 mm length) provide a precision reference for workpiece support and height setting in machining, inspection and workshop fixturing.

• Hardened, finely ground special steel
• Height tolerance ±0.01 mm
• 125 mm length for stable setups

Repeatable reference for accurate setups

These parallel support blocks act as a stable datum for clamping and measuring operations: the 125 mm length and 12 x 40 mm cross-section deliver a compact yet rigid support that minimises tilt and vibration during machining. Supplied as a pair, the blocks establish reliable parallelism between machine table and workpiece, reducing setup time and the risk of misalignment. The declared ±0.01 mm height tolerance gives a measurable basis for fixture repeatability and supports quality control procedures in both production and inspection environments.

Long service life and surface quality

Manufactured from special steel, each block is finely ground and hardened to provide durable contact faces with low wear rates. The precision finishing preserves the reference surfaces and reduces the need for frequent reconditioning, which in turn lowers lifetime cost of ownership. Compliance with DIN ISO 2768 (dimensional tolerances) indicates consistent manufacture, and the treated surfaces resist minor impacts and abrasion that commonly occur during workshop handling.

Practical applications and compatibility

These supports are suited to general workshop use, toolroom setups, milling and drilling fixtures, and inspection benches where a short, stiff reference is preferable to long bars. Their modest mass and compact footprint make them simple to position yet robust enough for clamping forces typical in light to medium machining tasks. Identification markings include the article number M318.238.40, allowing straightforward inventory management and traceability in stocked tooling sets.
