Chris' Tips
Adjustable parallels are not generally used like the parallels you use in a vise.
Uses include:
- Measuring the width of a slot; adjust the parallel so it fills the slot, then measure the parallel
- Setting the angle on a sine plate or vise
- As an adjustable gage block
- For leveling or adjusting odd-shaped work pieces in a vise
