    Parallel Sets

    Engineering parallels, also known simply as parallels, are tools used in machining and manufacturing processes to support and elevate workpieces above the work surface of a machine tool or workbench. They are essential for ensuring accuracy and stability during machining operations.


    Engineering parallels are precision-ground blocks made from materials such as steel, cast iron, or hardened alloy. They come in various sizes, typically rectangular or square in shape. Parallels are manufactured with extremely tight tolerances to ensure uniformity and accuracy.


    Types of Parallels:



    • Thickness parallels: These parallels come in various thicknesses and are primarily used to elevate workpieces to a specific height.

    • V-block parallels: These parallels have a V-shaped groove on one side, allowing them to securely hold cylindrical or round workpieces.

    • Step parallels: Step parallels have multiple steps or ledges of varying heights, providing flexibility in supporting different workpiece sizes.


    Benefits of Using Parallels:



    • Accuracy: Parallels provide a stable and level surface for workpieces, ensuring precision in machining and assembly operations.

    • Versatility: With various types and sizes available, parallels offer flexibility for different applications and workpiece dimensions.

    • Safety: Elevating workpieces with parallels reduces the risk of damage to both the workpiece and the machine tool.


    Usage Tips:



    • Cleanliness: Ensure that parallels and work surfaces are clean and free from debris to prevent inaccuracies.

    • Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect parallels for signs of wear, damage, or inaccuracies. Replace any damaged or worn parallels to maintain precision.

    • Storage: Store parallels in a clean, dry environment away from moisture and corrosive materials to prevent rust and degradation.
