VP-200 Parallel support set (ground) by Vertex — hardened alloy steel, 0.01 mm accuracy

The VP-200 Parallel support set is a ground, hardened collection of precision parallels and support brackets designed for accurate setting, inspection and workholding in machine shops and metrology routines.

• Hardened, ground alloy steel
• Accuracy 0.01 mm
• Complete set of 18 pieces
• Includes support brackets for stability

Consistent setup precision for repeatable results

The VP-200 set provides reliable setup precision thanks to its hardened and ground surfaces and a stated 0.01 mm accuracy. Ground faces minimise contact deformation and ensure parallelism across the set, which in turn reduces measurement error and increases repeatability during clamping or inspection tasks. In practice, this means quicker validation of parts, fewer re‑setups and lower scrap rates when aligning components or transferring references between machines. The robust construction also keeps calibrated geometries stable over repeated use.

Versatile size range to streamline fixture preparation

A well matched assortment of parallels and supports shortens preparation time at the vice or inspection plate. The set comprises a spectrum of widths and heights plus two support brackets, enabling flexible stacking and stable bearing under clamping pressure. This comprehensive size range simplifies spacing, elevating and aligning workpieces so operations run more efficiently. For users who require consistent datum surfaces across different part geometries, the kit reduces the need to improvise with unsuitable supports and increases throughput by making fixturing predictable.

Workshop durability and trustworthy sourcing for industrial use

Manufactured from alloy steel, hardened and finished by grinding, the set is built for everyday workshop conditions where resilience matters. The mass and finish of the components contribute to stable contact under load, giving long service life and low maintenance overheads. Sourcing through Metav Werkzeuge adds an extra layer of assurance: established supply from Emmerich acts as a quality filter for the European market and supports reliable replenishment. Together, material choice and responsible distribution reduce downtime and help maintain production rhythm.

FAQ

What applications are suitable for these parallels?
The VP-200 parallel support set by Vertex is suited to machine shop workholding, inspection tasks and any application needing precise, stable datum surfaces.

How does the 0.01 mm accuracy affect everyday use?
An accuracy of 0.01 mm ensures that stacking and aligning with the VP-200 produces consistent reference planes, reducing setup variance in subsequent machining or measurement steps.

Are the parallels resistant to workshop wear?
Yes — the components are made from alloy steel, hardened and ground, which provides durability and maintains contact geometry under regular clamping loads.

Can the set be combined for taller workpiece supports?
The included parallels and support brackets are intended for stacking and stable support; correct stacking procedures maintain the stated accuracy and stability.

Is this set supplied as a complete kit ready for immediate use?
The VP-200 is delivered as a complete kit containing parallels in a range of sizes plus two support brackets for immediate integration into workshop routines.
