Parallel Supports 100 mm: Precision and Versatility for Your Workshop

Why are parallel supports indispensable?

100 mm workpiece supports are among the essential tools in metalworking. They enable precise clamping of workpieces and ensure exact alignment during processing. The 100 mm parallel supports are particularly versatile and offer numerous advantages in combination with vices.

Technical Characteristics of 100 mm Workpiece Supports

1. High-Quality Material

The parallel supports are made from hardened tool steel, making them particularly robust and durable. Due to their high material hardness – typically between 55 and 65 HRC – they can easily withstand heavy loads in daily workshop use. This ensures a long service life and consistent dimensional accuracy.

2. Precision and Accuracy

A very low parallelism deviation of a maximum of 0.015 mm enables exact work results. Workpieces can be aligned cleanly and with high repeatability, which is crucial for precise milling or grinding work. This creates a stable support that forms the basis for high-quality processing.

3. Versatile Dimensions

With a length of 100 mm, these parallel supports are available in various cross-sections, for example, 3 x 6 mm, 4 x 8 mm, or 6 x 12 mm. This allows them to be flexibly adapted to different clamping tasks and offers a suitable solution for many applications in CNC and conventional machining.

Suitable Vices for 100 mm Parallel Supports

1. Minimum Clamping Range

Vices suitable for use with 100 mm parallel supports should have a clamping range of at least 100 mm. This ensures that the supports can be fully accommodated.

2. Jaw Height

The jaw height of the vice plays a crucial role. It should be high enough to securely fix the parallel supports and the workpiece.

3. Precision Vices

A vice with precise guides and a stable construction ensures optimal results. Precision vices are therefore an excellent choice for working with parallel supports.

Advantages of Combining Workpiece Supports and Vices

1. Exact Workpiece Alignment

Parallel supports ensure that the workpiece is always perfectly aligned. This is particularly important for drilling, milling, and grinding operations.

2. Versatility

The different cross-sections of the 100 mm workpiece supports allow them to be used for workpieces of various sizes and shapes.

3. Protection against Damage

The supports prevent sensitive workpieces from coming into direct contact with the jaws, thus reducing the risk of surface damage.

Tips for using workpiece supports

1. Selecting the Right Dimensions

Choose parallel supports that match the specific requirements of your work and the dimensions of your workpieces.

2. Cleaning Before Use

Ensure that the supports are free of dirt and grease to guarantee optimal adhesion and alignment.

3. Regular Maintenance

Regularly check the parallel supports for wear and damage to ensure a long service life and consistent precision.

Conclusion: Precision at the Highest Level

100 mm parallel supports are indispensable tools for precise metalworking tasks. In combination with a suitable vice, they offer unbeatable advantages in terms of accuracy, versatility, and workpiece protection. Invest in high-quality parallel supports and vices to take your workshop to the next level.
