Kurt 8PS9 Vise Parallel Set 18 Piece

Product Description

The KURT 8PS9 is an 18-piece vise parallel set designed for use with Kurt 8-inch machine vises. Sold as 9 matched pairs, these parallels provide a stable, precision ground seating surface that holds workpieces at consistent heights during milling, drilling, and grinding operations. Each parallel maintains a parallelism tolerance of 0.0002 inches, making them suitable for close-tolerance setups where repeatability matters. Minimum height is 1 inch and maximum thickness is 0.25 inches. The set ships with a storage box for organized toolroom or shop floor storage. Machinists, toolmakers, and CNC setup technicians will find this set appropriate for production and jobbing environments.

These parallels are specified for use with Kurt 8-inch vises and are a direct complement to that vise line. The 18-piece configuration gives the operator a range of pairing options to accommodate varying workpiece geometries and setup heights. Typical applications include horizontal milling setups, surface grinding fixtures, and manual mill operations where the workpiece must be elevated above the vise jaw to allow cutter or wheel clearance. The full set weighs 17 pounds, which reflects the solid steel construction expected of precision ground tooling at this tolerance class.

• Maximum thickness of 0.25 inches for compatibility with close-clearance applications
• Includes storage box for organized retention of all 9 pairs
• Designed specifically for use with Kurt 8-inch vises

Compatibility

Designed for use with Kurt 8-inch vises as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Parallel sets are installed by machinists and CNC setup technicians during workholding setup - no power source or shutoff is required. Before placing parallels, clean the vise bed and parallel surfaces to remove chips and coolant residue that can affect seating accuracy. Do not use parallels that show visible damage, burrs, or warping, as this will compromise setup repeatability. Store all pairs together in the provided box to prevent mixing with other parallel sets of different heights.
