Precision parallels for accurate workholding
Parallel parallels, also known as precision parallels and setup parallels, provide stable, ground reference surfaces that ensure workpieces are aligned and levelled for milling, drilling and grinding operations. Used as support and spacing blocks, they help to secure components during machining and enable quick, repeatable setup while facilitating inspection of parallelism and flatness; typical materials include hardened steel, stainless steel and carbide for long life. By offering high tolerances and finely ground surfaces, these precision parallels, setup parallels and machining parallels reduce setup time, improve dimensional accuracy and support precise tool and machine adjustments.

Precision Parallel Supports, pair — 14 x 17 mm section, 125 mm length (Metav IndustryLine) The Precision Parallel Supports are hardened, finely ground support blocks designed to provide stable reference heights and secure fixturing in workshop and inspection environments. Hardened, finely ground special steel Height tolerance ±0.01 mm DIN ISO 2768 compliant 125 mm length for stable fixturing Secure, repeatable height reference for machining and inspection The pair of precision parallel supports establishes a constant datum height with a guaranteed height tolerance of ±0.01 mm, making them suitable where repeatability matters. The compact section of 14 x 17 mm combined with a 125 mm length offers a balance between reach and rigidity; this reduces the risk of cantilever deflection during clamping or light machining. As precision fixturing elements, these support blocks are typically used for setting up workpieces in vices, aligning parts for inspection, and as dependable contact surfaces for height gauges, providing a measurable improvement in process consistency. Long service life through material selection and surface finish Manufactured from special steel that has been finely ground and hardened, the supports deliver durable contact faces with minimal wear and excellent surface flatness. The ground finish reduces micro-deformation under repeated load, which preserves measurement integrity and extends service intervals. Conformity to DIN ISO 2768 indicates controlled manufacturing tolerances for the geometry of the parts, while the modest mass (0.47 kg per pair) combines handling convenience with sufficient inertia to remain stable during routine workshop operations. Practical integration into workshop workflows Presented as a matched pair, the support blocks allow symmetrical positioning beneath a workpiece, improving clamping stability and reducing setup time compared with improvised supports. The straightforward rectangular profile suits most vices and fixture arrangements and can be combined with parallel clamps and angle plates to create repeatable set-ups. The robust construction and standard dimensions facilitate inventory management and rapid replacement, while the clearly defined technical data supports qualification in quality control procedures.

Parallel supports, pair (12 x 20 mm, 150 mm) — hardened, ground special steel The Parallel supports, pair (12 x 20 mm, 150 mm) serve as rigid, precision reference blocks for machining set-ups, inspection benches and fixture assembly in industrial workshops Precision ground and hardened steel Height tolerance ±0.01 mm Compact 12 x 20 mm cross-section Supplied as a matched pair Consistent reference surfaces for repeatable set-ups These parallels provide a stable datum thanks to a finely ground and hardened surface that resists wear and preserves geometry under repeated clamping. The combination of special steel and precise finishing reduces deformation and maintains flatness across the support faces, which improves repeatability when relocating components between machines or inspection stations. Engineers benefit from lower set-up time and fewer alignment checks when using stable reference blocks. Precise dimensions that simplify inspection and jig building With a nominal cross-section of 12 x 20 mm and a nominal length of 150 mm, the supports offer the ideal compromise between reach and rigidity for typical workshop tasks. The specified height tolerance of ±0.01 mm gives a clear, verifiable basis for dimensional setups and ensures compatibility with tight fixture requirements. Conformity to DIN ISO 2768 provides further assurance that these parts integrate consistently into standardised assemblies and quality-control procedures. Matched pair delivery for symmetry and safer clamping Supplied as a pair, the blocks allow symmetric support of workpieces, reducing torsion and uneven loading during milling, drilling or measurement. A matched pair simplifies repetitive production sequences and fixture layouts, where equal bearing heights are essential for achieving geometric stability. The modest mass and compact form factor make them easy to position while still offering the stiffness expected in demanding shop-floor environments. Durable construction for long service life Manufactured from special steel that is finely ground and hardened, the supports withstand the mechanical stresses of daily use and maintain reference accuracy over time. The surface finish aids in reducing micro-slippage beneath workpieces, while the hardened substrate resists indentations from clamps or sharp edges. These attributes combine to lower the total cost of ownership through extended service intervals and fewer replacements.

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.

FAQ
What materials are parallels available in?
Parallels are commonly supplied in hardened steel, stainless steel or carbide, with surfaces typically ground and lapped to provide long-term wear resistance and accurate reference faces.
Can parallels be used as measurement references?
Yes. Parallels serve as reference surfaces for measuring and testing; their high precision and flat, lapped faces make them suitable for checking parallelism and ensuring consistent measurement setups.
Are parallels sold individually or in sets?
Parallels are offered both as single pieces and as sets with graduated sizes and thicknesses, allowing straightforward selection for specific clamping heights or spacing requirements.
How do parallels reduce setup time in a production environment?
By providing standardised, accurate support heights and stable reference surfaces, parallels simplify fixturing and tool setting, which shortens racking times and increases machine uptime.
