Adjustable Parallels

Precision measurement tools are priceless instruments when high accuracy is required. While today there is a large availability of laser, digital, or mechanical devices, certain old-fashioned tools can be irreplaceable in some workshops or garages. Parallels are among such tools. These metal parallelograms can be adjustable or non-adjustable, and they perform a wide range of functions including gauging spaces, transferring dimensions, setting up machine tools, inspecting various works, and go/no-go measurements. Typically, parallels are made of high-grade steel and consist of refined solid blocks with parallel and sharp edges.

Adjustable parallels are more versatile than fixed ones, as they can be “adjusted” to change one dimension and fit various sizes. In a typical adjustable parallel, the parallelogram consists of two parts that can move along an inclined plane, while one or two screws allow for locking the parts in the desired position.
