Parallel stop M318.247.4 — Parallel locating block for 22 mm T-slots, 22 × 80 × 160 mm (Metav IndustryLine)

The Parallel stop M318.247.4 is a hardened, ground parallel locating block intended for use in machine T-slots to provide secure, repeatable positioning of workpieces during machining and assembly.

• Hardened, ground special steel construction
• Precision height IT5 with 0/-0.02 mm tolerance
• Made for 22 mm machine T-slots, tolerance H8
• Supplied as a matched pair for consistent alignment

Robust construction for repeatable set-ups

Manufactured from special steel, then ground and hardened, these locating blocks deliver the rigidity required for demanding shop-floor use. The combination of a 22 mm contact thickness and substantial body dimensions ensures low deflection under clamping forces, so fixturing repeatability is improved and rework is reduced. The surface finish and heat treatment are selected to preserve dimensional stability over many cycles, which supports predictable throughput and minimizes downtime.

Precision alignment that shortens set-up time

With a height tolerance of IT5 and a nominal tolerance of 0/−0.02 mm, the blocks are produced for precise stacking and side-by-side alignment. This degree of control is advantageous when establishing reference faces or when multiple workpieces must be clamped to the same datum. The matched-pair delivery reduces the need for shimming and trial adjustments, enabling faster clamping procedures and consistent inspection baselines for machining operations.

Practical compatibility with machine slots and workflows

Designed specifically for machine T-slots with H8 tolerance, the locating blocks integrate directly into common fixturing systems without modification. The dimensions 22 × 80 × 160 mm provide a balance of bearing area and accessibility, making them suitable for medium-sized components and routine workshop tasks. Being supplied in pairs allows creation of parallel datum faces immediately, which is useful for assembly, milling and layout operations where controlled parallelism is required.
