Tesa Brown Sharpe 599-673-20 Adjustable Parallel Set

Product Description

The TESA BROWN SHARPE 599-673-20 is a 6-piece adjustable parallel set designed for precision setup and workholding applications in machine shops and toolrooms. The set covers an adjustment range of 3/8 to 2-1/4 inches, with individual parallels measuring 1-3/4 to 5-1/16 inches in length and 9/32 inch in thickness. Each parallel is individually adjustable, allowing machinists and metrology technicians to dial in exact heights when setting up vises, fixtures, and surface plate layouts. A fitted carrying case is included for organized storage and transport between workstations.

This adjustable parallel set is suited for use in precision manufacturing environments, tool and die shops, and machine setup applications where fixed parallels would require an impractically large selection. The adjustable design allows a single set to replace multiple fixed parallels across a wide range of heights. It is typically used by machinists, CNC setup technicians, and quality control personnel for part location, gauge setup, and workpiece support on milling machines, surface grinders, and surface plates.

Key Features

• Adjustment range of 3/8 to 2-1/4 inches covers a broad span of workpiece heights
• Individual parallel length range of 1-3/4 to 5-1/16 inches suits varied fixture setups
• 9/32 inch thickness provides a consistent reference dimension throughout the set
• Set of 6 parallels allows simultaneous multi-point support setups
• Includes a fitted carrying case for organized storage and protection

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose adjustable parallel set suitable for standard machine shop setup, fixturing, and metrology applications requiring precision height adjustment across the stated range.

Installation Notes

Adjustable parallels are typically set and secured by machinists or metrology technicians prior to workpiece clamping. Ensure each parallel is fully locked at the desired height before applying clamping force to avoid slippage. Clean contact surfaces on both the parallel and the supporting fixture before use to maintain accuracy. Handle with care to avoid dropping, as impacts can affect the precision ground surfaces.
