Parallel stop, 10 x 80 x 120 mm for 10 mm T‑slots — Metav IndustryLine

The Parallel stop, 10 x 80 x 120 mm is a precision T‑slot stop designed to register reliably in a 10 mm machine T‑slot, providing stable positional reference for machining and fixturing operations

• Ground, hardened special steel
• Precision height tolerance IT5
• Fits 10 mm T‑slots (H8 tolerance)
• Delivered in matching pairs
• 120 mm length for stable support

Consistent registration and traceable repeatability

The hardened register delivers a measurable improvement in setup repeatability. With a certified height of 80 ±0.0065 mm and a nominal tolerance of 0/‑0.02 mm, the component provides a tight datum that reduces variation between cycles. This level of control supports standard shop-floor quality routines and helps maintain machining tolerances without complex re‑adjustment. The precise height tolerance IT5 is particularly beneficial where repeatable stacking or referencing is required, shortening inspection loops and increasing throughput.

Faster set-up and robust support for larger workpieces

Designed to locate directly in a 10 mm T‑slot (suitable for machine T‑slots with H8 tolerance), the stop pair reduces clamping time by providing an immediate datum. The 120 mm length offers a broad support face that spreads reaction forces, lowering the risk of part movement during cutting or probing. Supplied as a matched pair, the stops enable parallel support on both sides of a workpiece, improving stability for rectangular components and fixtures and helping to reduce rework and cycle time on repeat jobs.

Built to resist wear and preserve accuracy

Manufactured from special steel, ground and hardened, these stops are designed for long service life in an industrial environment. The ground finish ensures a flat, burr-free face that resists fretting and provides consistent contact geometry over extended use. The hardened substrate reduces wear at the contact zone, maintaining the calibrated datum and minimising the need for frequent replacement. As a result, maintenance intervals are extended and total cost of ownership is lowered through reduced downtime.

Practical integration into production workflows

The register is supplied with clear identification (SKU: M318.242.3) and traceable marking, facilitating inventory control and tool management. Its robust construction makes it suitable for repetitive positioning in machining, assembly jigs and inspection fixtures where a reliable datum is required. For shops aiming to streamline set-up procedures, the part can be incorporated into standard operating procedures to guarantee consistent reference points across shifts, operators and machines.

FAQ

What material is used for the stop and how does it affect durability?
The stop is made from special steel that is ground and hardened, which provides high wear resistance and long service life under repeated contact and clamping.

Can these stops be used in standard 10 mm T‑slots on milling tables?
Yes — the component is designed for a T‑slot width of 10 mm and is suitable for machine T‑slots manufactured to H8 tolerance, giving a reliable positional fit.

How precise is the height datum provided by the stops?
The height is specified as 80 ±0.0065 mm with a nominal tolerance of 0/‑0.02 mm and classification IT5, offering a high level of positional accuracy for shop‑floor use.

Are the stops supplied individually or as a set?
These items are delivered in matching pairs to provide parallel support for workpieces and fixtures, ensuring both sides can be registered simultaneously.

Is the product traceable for tool management and identification?
Yes — the part is identified by SKU M318.242.3 and GTIN 4054469128344, simplifying inventory tracking and integration into tool lists.
