Precision Steel Parallel Block Sets (18pcs / 28pcs) | For Milling Vise Setup

Achieve perfect workpiece alignment with our Precision Steel Parallel Block Sets. Essential for every machinist, these parallels are designed to elevate workpieces in a machine vise, ensuring the part sits parallel to the table for accurate milling, drilling, and grinding. Manufactured by Pingyuan Zhenghao Machinery, our parallels are made from high-grade alloy steel, hardened to HRC 50-55, and precision ground on all four sides. We offer various sets, including the popular 18-piece (9 pairs) and 28-piece (14 pairs) configurations, all housed in a sturdy wooden or plastic storage case.

[Product Overview]

Precision Parallel Blocks are fundamental tools for accurate machining. They are placed under the workpiece within a vise to raise it to the desired height while maintaining strict parallelism with the machine bed. Unlike makeshift spacers, our hardened parallels resist compression and wear, providing a reliable reference surface for years of daily use.

[Key Features & Advantages]

  • High Accuracy: Precision ground to a parallelism tolerance of ±0.005mm (0.0002") and paired in height to ±0.005mm, ensuring your workpiece sits perfectly flat.

  • Hardened Durability: Made from high-quality alloy steel (S45C or 20Cr), stress-relieved and hardened to HRC 48-53 to resist nicks and scratches from chips or heavy clamping forces.

  • Chamfered Edges: All edges are slightly chamfered to prevent damage to the vise jaws or workpiece and to allow for easy insertion.

  • Versatile Sets:

    • Thin Parallels (1/8" or ~3mm thick): Ideal for smaller parts or when maximum vise opening is needed. Common set: 10 pairs (20pcs) or 9 pairs (18pcs).

    • Thick Parallels (1/4" or ~6mm thick): For heavy-duty support.

    • Metric & Imperial: Available in 150mm length (Metric) or 6 inch length (Imperial).

  • Protective Case: Comes in a custom-fitted wooden or molded plastic box to protect the precision surfaces when not in use.

  • Consistent Quality: We inspect every pair for height consistency before packaging. You won't find mismatched pairs in our sets.

  • Wide Selection: From standard VP-100 series to heavy-duty VP-128 sets, we have the right size for your vise (4", 6", or 8").

  • Competitive Price: As a manufacturer, we offer these essential shop tools at prices that allow distributors to maintain healthy margins.

  • OEM Branding: We can laser mark your logo on each parallel and customize the box packaging for your brand.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Selection Guide

Q1: What is the difference between the 18-piece and 28-piece sets?

A:

  • 18-Piece Set (VP-118): Contains 9 pairs of parallels. Usually 1/4" thick x 6" long. Heights range from 3/4" to 1-3/4" in 1/8" increments.

  • 28-Piece Set (VP-128): Contains 14 pairs of parallels. Usually 1/8" thick x 6" long. Offers a wider range of heights (e.g., 1/2" to 1-5/8") for finer adjustments.

Q2: Are these parallels sold individually or only in sets?

A: We primarily sell them in matched sets because keeping them paired is crucial for accuracy. However, for bulk orders, we can supply specific sizes (e.g., 100 pairs of 1/2" height) for production fixtures.

Q3: What is the tolerance on the height?

A: Within a pair, the height difference is strictly controlled to be within 0.005mm. The absolute height tolerance is typically ±0.01mm.

Q4: How do I prevent them from rusting?

A: Our parallels come with a light coat of anti-rust oil. We recommend wiping them clean before use and reapplying a light oil or rust inhibitor before storing them back in the case.
