Machinist’s Parallel Bar Set
Parallel bars are precision-ground spacers used to elevate a workpiece by a known height while maintaining perfect parallelism with the machine table. This set includes five matched pairs made from 1018 steel, each measuring 2-1/2" long and 1/16" thick, with the following heights: 1/4" • 3/8" • 1/2" • 5/8" • 3/4"
Unlike the imported parallels previously offered, these are manufactured in-house by Sherline. Each bar is waterjet cut from 1/16" 1018 steel, ground to precise height tolerances, and finished with a durable black oxide coating to resist corrosion. This set reflects Sherline’s commitment to accuracy, quality, and American-made craftsmanship.
Chip Guard
The chip guard attaches to the headstock and swings down to cover the faceplate or chuck. Made from durable, clear polycarbonate, it provides visibility while protecting you from flying chips. It swings up easily for setup changes and is intended as a supplementary safety feature, but not a replacement for safety glasses. In addition to added protection, it helps contain chips and keeps your workspace cleaner. If you're machining in shared spaces, this accessory will be especially appreciated.
