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.

Parallel blocks set M318.235 — precision 160 mm parallels, hardened and fine-ground (Metav IndustryLine) A precision set of Parallel blocks M318.235 designed for stable workholding and accurate reference support in workshop fixturing and inspection applications. Hardened steel, HRC > 56 for long service life Fine-ground surfaces for precision fitting Nominal height tolerance ±0.01 mm 160 mm length for stable support in fixtures Reliable support for jigs and inspection benches The set offers consistent bearing surfaces that reduce setup variation when locating and supporting workpieces. Manufactured from special steel, fine-ground and hardened, the blocks maintain geometry under frequent use so that fixtures remain true over many cycles. The combination of HRC > 56 and fine surface finish minimises wear and ensures that stacking or repeated contact does not compromise dimensional stability. For production environments where repeatable positioning shortens cycle times, these parallels act as a low-effort way to preserve accuracy. Repeatability and measurable precision for quality control With a nominal height tolerance of ±0.01 mm and documented flatness down to 0.005 mm, the set is tailored for tasks that demand measurable reproducibility rather than subjective alignment. The clear numeric tolerances support quality documentation and process control: inspection routines can reference the blocks as calibrated reference faces, and the reproducible geometry simplifies comparative gauging. Where traceable setups are required, these precision parallels give a quantifiable baseline for repeat inspections and process audits. Design choices that reduce handling error and improve ergonomics At 160 mm length and with balanced cross-sections, the parallels deliver a stable contact area that reduces tipping risk during manual placement. The polished, fine-ground finish eases sliding and alignment when stacking or shimming components, cutting setup time in clutch operations. Because the set comprises matched pairs, alignment of opposing faces is straightforward, which benefits quick-change jigs and small-batch production where frequent part swaps are needed. The practical design supports faster, safer handling without sacrificing the engineered accuracy. Durable construction for workshop longevity The choice of hardened special steel and adherence to DIN ISO 2768 tolerances result in a robust toolset that tolerates the rigours of daily workshop life. Hardness at HRC > 56 delivers abrasion resistance while the ground surfaces maintain contact integrity, so performance is preserved even under repeated load. This durability lowers the need for frequent replacement and reduces downtime associated with worn support elements, contributing to steadier production throughput and lower lifecycle cost.

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.
