Parallel stop M318.241.3, parallel stop for 8 mm T-slot, hardened ground special steel — Metav IndustryLine

The Parallel stop M318.241.3 is a precision parallel stop for securing workpieces in machine T‑slots; designed for workshop and production use where repeatable positioning and low deformation are required.

• Delivered in pairs
• Hardened, ground special steel
• Compatible with 8 mm T-slots, tolerance H8
• Precise height: 80 ±0.0065 mm

Robust geometry for repeatable positioning in production

The block is manufactured from special steel, ground and hardened, giving a stable contact surface that resists wear during repeated clamping cycles. The combination of a tight nominal tolerance (0/‑0.02 mm, height IT5) and a precisely machined face reduces variability during fixture setup, so locating operations remain consistent across batches. This stability translates directly into fewer re‑set operations and predictable process outcomes in machine shops and jigs.

Designed for machine slots and tight tolerances

Compatibility with 8 mm T‑slots (tolerance H8) makes the stop suitable for standard machine tables and fixtures; its 80 mm nominal height (with the specified micro‑tolerance) ensures correct alignment with clamping profiles and gauges. Because the component is supplied in pairs, setting parallel references across a workpiece is straightforward, enabling quick, accurate orientation without the need for additional shimming.

Practical handling and workshop endurance

At 120 mm length, 8 mm thickness and approximately 1.2 kg mass per pair, the unit balances stiffness and ease of handling for one‑person set‑up while remaining robust under normal workshop forces. The ground finish reduces friction and prevents point loading on contact surfaces; the hardened substrate extends service life under frequent use. These characteristics allow the accessory to be integrated into daily production routines with minimal maintenance.

Integration into quality workflows and traceability

The compact but rigid design supports workshop quality assurance routines by offering reproducible reference points for measuring and machining. The product's construction and tolerance class make it suitable for use alongside common inspection tools and gauges; its consistent geometry aids in process control and reduces measurement variance when establishing datum lines or repeatable clamping positions.
