Parallel stop M318.243.2 — hardened, ground special steel; 12 x 60 x 120 mm for 12 mm T-slots (Metav IndustryLine)

The Parallel stop M318.243.2 is a purpose-made locating aid for securing workpieces in machine T-slots, offering workshop-grade repeatability and straightforward fixture integration

• Hardened, ground special steel for longevity
• Height tolerance IT5 for consistent locating
• Fits 12 mm T-slot with H8 tolerance
• Supplied in pairs for balanced support

Faster, repeatable positioning that saves setup time

Accurate locating reduces cycle-to-cycle variation and shortens positioning routines. With a nominal height tolerance of 0/‑0.02 mm and a specified height of 60 ±0.0065 mm, this locating element delivers repeatable positioning that translates into fewer rejects and less time spent on adjustments. The defined tolerances (height IT5 and compatibility with slot tolerance H8) allow fixtures to be set up with confidence, making the work process more predictable and efficient for standard machining and jigs.

Robust construction for demanding workshop use

Made from special steel, ground and hardened, the component resists wear and preserves datum integrity under repeated loading. The hardened surface reduces deformation risk during clamping and contributes to long service intervals; maintenance is limited to routine cleaning and occasional inspection. At 1.35 kg the element offers stable mass for resisting movement during machining while remaining manageable for handling and reconfiguration of setups.

Direct compatibility with 12 mm T-slots and balanced support

Engineered specifically for a 12 mm T-slot, the stop engages typical machine grooves precisely and is suitable for slots produced to tolerance H8. Supplied in pairs, the components provide mirrored support points that eliminate lateral tilt and ensure even clamping forces. This approach reduces the need for shims or temporary supports and improves contact reliability when securing rectangular or prismatic workpieces.

Practical advantages in everyday workshop scenarios

The compact footprint 12 x 60 x 120 mm makes these stops versatile for small to medium assemblies, clamping fixtures and repetitive production runs. The combination of measured tolerances and ground contact faces supports reliable location for edge-sensitive parts and helps maintain concentricity where multiple fixtures are used. The unit’s dimensions and mass make it easy to incorporate into existing tooling kits without major layout changes.
