Basic set of parallels - Kennyv - 10-17-2015
finally had some time after needing to do maintenance work . Had a few projects all goin on at once so fig id finish this one so I can work on needed mods for the machines. Hers is a set of parallels for my 5 Homge vise to use on my new PM932 . . Nothing special needed a wider set . Started out with a pc of unknown stock , fly cut cut blanks face milled started out ½ thk was going to make .437 didnt likem ended up millin down again settled with 3/8 thickness. They are only within .0005 in the heights in which I did surface grind. Was going to make a nice wooden box but than saw I had this box that would be perfect to house them. Little cut foam/ rubber hot clue done deal. Well thats about it on to the next project for the mill

Nice job Kenny , the box looks spot on too easier than messing about making one too
Cheers Mick

Great looking tools there Kenny!
Now when you state "within .0005" in heights", that sounds odd because if you take the "final pass" for height the pair should be together on the surface grinder's magnetic chuck and ground at the same time, same height. Is that what you did? If so they should be identical height and no way off by up to .0005".
