Parallels

Purpose:
The main purpose of the parallels is to ensure that the work-piece is well exposed to allow smooth working of the machine and without damaging the machine. They have a series of holes that are drilled on their front side to enable them position the work-piece or fit in clamps to remove any sharp edge on the work-piece.
