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.

Sets of Adjustable Parallels

Adjust these two-piece parallels to your exact height requirements. Loosen the one or two screws and slide the pieces in and out. When the desired height is achieved, tighten the screws. Parallels are precision ground and often used in pairs. Place a parallel against each vise jaw and rest your workpiece on top to raise it within the vise, allowing more clearance for cutting tools. Parallels also function as adjustable gauges for layout, setup, and inspection tasks.

Parallel Handscrew Clamps

The matching jaws are ground flat for a firm grip and even pressure when clamping smooth surfaces. The two screws turn independently to make small, individual adjustments to each jaw.
