Kurt 8PS6 Vise Parallel Set 12 Piece 1 Inch High

Product Description

The KURT 8PS6 is a 12-piece vise parallel set designed for precision workholding in machine shop and metalworking applications. The set ships as 6 matched pairs, each parallel ground to a minimum height of 1 inch and a parallelism tolerance of 0.0002 inches. Maximum thickness is 0.25 inches. These parallels are used to support and elevate workpieces in milling vises, providing a stable, repeatable reference surface during machining operations. A storage box is included to keep pairs organized and protect ground surfaces from damage between uses. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with Kurt 8-inch vises will find this set sized to match that platform directly.

This parallel set is intended for use in production and job-shop machining environments where consistent workpiece elevation and jaw clearance are required. The 0.0002-inch parallelism tolerance supports tight-tolerance milling, drilling, and boring operations. The set is sold as a single unit containing 6 pairs (12 pieces total) and is well-suited for shops running Kurt 8-inch milling vises as their primary workholding setup.

Installation Notes

Vise parallels are typically set and positioned by machinists or toolroom personnel prior to workpiece clamping. Before placing parallels, ensure the vise is clean and free of chips or debris that could affect seating. Parallels should be seated firmly against the vise bed before the workpiece is clamped. Inspect ground surfaces for nicks or burrs before each use, as surface damage can affect parallelism and workpiece positioning accuracy.
