    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.
