Basic set of parallels

[Kennyv]

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 that’s 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".
