Parallel stop M318.244.1 — Parallel block 14 x 40 x 100 mm, hardened special steel (Metav IndustryLine)

The Parallel stop M318.244.1 is a hardened, ground parallel block designed to locate workpieces in machine grooves with a 14 mm slot width, providing a robust datum for fixturing and repeated machining operations.

Hardened, ground special steel construction
Precise height tolerance IT5, 0/-0.02 mm
Designed for 14 mm machine slots (H8 fit)
Supplied as a matched pair for repeatable setup

Precision positioning for reproducible datum surfaces

The 14 x 40 x 100 mm geometry combined with a nominal height tolerance of 0/-0.02 mm (IT5) creates a stable datum that reduces setup variation and scrap. The top and bottom faces are ground and hardened special steel, which maintains flatness under clamping forces and prevents fretting over repeated cycles. The specified height of 40 ±0.0055 mm supports fine alignment in vertical datum setups; the tolerance class IT5 indicates a workshop-level high-precision part, suitable where consistent reference planes are required. Compatibility with machine grooves manufactured to H8 provides an engineered fit for standard T‑slot and machine-slot systems, ensuring positional repeatability without additional shimming.

Matched-pair delivery to speed up fixture setup

Delivered as a matched pair, these parallel blocks remove the need for individual pairing and sorting on the shop floor. The matched surfaces enable quick two-sided locating for clamping jigs, assembly fixtures or repeat production runs, cutting changeover time and reducing measurement checks. At 0.85 kg per set, the blocks are heavy enough to remain stable when clamped yet manageable for single-person handling during routine setups. The robust surface finish and hardened substrate tolerate typical workshop handling and keep reference faces true over long-term use, helping to lower rework rates and to improve process reliability.

Applications, compatibility and practical advantages

Designed for use in clamping and fixturing applications, the block set is particularly suited to locating workpieces in machine slots with a 14 mm nominal groove width and H8 tolerance. Typical uses include milling and drilling fixtures, assembly jigs and inspection set-ups where a reliable, repeatable datum is required. The ground and hardened material resists wear and preserves measurement geometry, making the blocks a durable choice for metalworking environments. The product’s clear technical specification and matched-pair delivery support efficient planning of fixture design and reproducible production workflows.
