Kurt KPS-6000 Parallel Keeper 6 Inch Max Opening

Product Description

The KURT KPS-6000 is a parallel keeper designed to secure parallels inside Kurt machine vises during setup and operation. It prevents parallels from shifting or falling when a workpiece is loaded, helping maintain consistent part positioning across repeated setups. The KPS-6000 measures 14 inches long by 8 inches wide and handles a maximum opening capacity of 6 inches. At 1.5 pounds, it is a lightweight but functional accessory for machinists and tool and die professionals working with Kurt vises on manual or CNC machine tools.

This parallel keeper is intended for use with Kurt 4 inch, 5 inch, and 6 inch vises in machine shop environments. It is well suited for production shops, toolrooms, and job shops where vises are regularly used and parallels need to stay in place during part loading and unloading. The KPS-6000 is a direct-fit accessory for compatible Kurt vise models and does not require modification for installation.
