Sets of Parallels

Sets include multiple sizes of matched pairs that are precision ground for tight tolerances on the top and bottom edges. Place a parallel against each vise jaw and rest your workpiece on top to raise it within the vise and allow more clearance for cutting tools.
8" long parallels are also precision ground on both faces.

Parallels

Place a parallel against each vise jaw to create a rest for your workpiece. Precision ground to tight tolerances, these matched pairs raise the workpiece within a vise to allow more clearance for cutting tools.
Parallels with two precision-ground sides have a parallel tolerance of 0.0001" on the top and bottom edges.
Parallels with four precision-ground sides have tight parallel tolerances on the top edge, bottom edge, and both faces.
6" long parallels are ground to 0.0001"; 12" long parallels are ground to 0.0002".

Adjustable Parallels

Instead of keeping an assortment of parallels on hand, adjust these two-piece tools to your exact height requirements. Loosen the screw and slide the pieces in and out. When the desired height is achieved, tighten the screw. Parallels are precision ground on the top and bottom edges and are often used in pairs. Place a parallel against each vise jaw and rest your workpiece on top to raise it within the vise and allow more clearance for cutting tools.

Parallel Keepers


Spring-loaded to keep parallels in place on a vise, squeeze the ends together to place inside; release and they push outward to hold the parallels against the vise jaws. They are also known as parallel separators.
