VP-146 Ground Parallels Set — precision-ground workshop parallels, Vertex

The VP-146 Ground Parallels Set is a precision-ground set for accurate workholding, measuring and setup tasks in machining and inspection environments.

• Ground finish with 0.01 mm accuracy
• Set of 12 parallels in graduated heights
• Made from S45C steel for dimensional stability
• Compact set weight approx. 3 kg for easy handling

Improved setup reliability through measurable precision

Thanks to a ground finish and a declared accuracy of 0.01 mm, this parallel set provides a stable reference for clamping and inspection jobs where repeatable alignment matters. The finely finished bearing surfaces reduce rocking and tilt when parts are elevated on parallels, which translates into fewer adjustments during machining sequences. The combination of tight tolerances and solid construction supports consistent datum references for layout, transfer and comparative measurement work, reducing rework and measurement uncertainty.

Practical composition that fits workshop routines

The kit contains 12 parallels in graduated sizes, enabling flexible stacking and shimming for a wide range of component heights. The set composition includes pairs of parallels across several widths, supplied in fixed lengths for straightforward use on vises and inspection plates. Graduated heights mean quicker set-up times when establishing parallelism or lifting parts for through-drilling and finishing; the modular arrangement replaces improvised shimming and speeds up repetitive tasks on the shop floor.

Durable material and compact handling for everyday use

Constructed from S45C steel and supplied as a compact kit weighing around 3 kg, the set balances wear resistance with manageable handling. The material choice provides dimensional stability under routine workshop conditions while the ground surfaces maintain flatness over extended use. Because the set is finished and matched, it supports both bench inspection and machining fixtures without additional preparation, helping to streamline both quality control procedures and small-batch production runs.
