Precision alignment and stable support for exact machining
Parallels, also known as parallel blocks or parallel supports, provide reliable reference surfaces for a wide range of workshop and production tasks. Designed for aligning and levelling workpieces or machine components, they are an essential accessory in milling, drilling and grinding where parallelism and flatness are critical.
How parallels support your machining process
Parallels are used to support and stabilise workpieces during machining, to set tools and machines precisely, and to act as reference surfaces for measuring and testing. In practice they ensure a workpiece remains secure and true to the intended datum, reducing chatter and enabling consistent, repeatable results. Typical applications include clamping setups on machine vises, height setting for toolholders, and as spacers to guarantee uniform gaps between components.
Tangible advantages that improve throughput and quality
- Increased precision through tight tolerances and repeatable reference surfaces.
- Reduced setup time by using standardised sets with graduated sizes and thicknesses.
- Extended tool and workpiece life thanks to robust materials such as hardened steel, stainless steel or carbide.
- Consistent measurement results owing to ground and lapped surfaces that ensure flatness and parallelism.
- Versatile use as supports, spacers and measuring references across multiple machining operations.
