Small-.875” to 2.0 [22mm to 50mm] depending on pressure needed up to 4 springs – minimum parallel height .625” [16mm] (must include anti-buckle pins – provided)

Medium-2.0” to 4.0” [51mm to 102mm] 1 or 2 springs – minimum parallel height .875” [22mm] (must include anti-buckle pins – provided)

User’s notes

• Either 1, 2 or 4 springs are used, depending on the force needed to keep your parallels in place.
• Add the minimal # of springs to get the job done. The more springs you have, the more chips or debris that may build up in the coils of the springs.
• Correct placement location of the spring(s) on your parallel(s) will provide the best results.
• Spring pressure applied minimizes the movable jaw raising or lift which happens during traditional clamping. This will increase accuracy. Please keep the springs as high as possible in your vise.
• For single parallel use, the highest accuracy will be achieved if you keep your parallel next to the solid vise jaw.
