Parallel (engineering): Applications, Description & Manufacturing

A parallel is a rectangular block of metal, commonly made from tool steel, stainless steel or cast iron, which has 2, 4 or 6 faces ground or lapped to a precise surface finish. Parallels are used when machining with a mill, drill or any other machining operation that requires work to be held in a vise or with clamps - to keep work parallel or raised…
