    Cheap Thin Parallels

    Two sets of parallels from one. Easy enough to cut them to fit any pair of vises that total less than 6" wide.
    In my case I have a set that is 2.5" long and a set that is 3.35" long. Both sets will extend past the jaws of their intended vise.
    Three long un-cut parallels were not cut since they are too high for either vise. Nice not to have all that extra length stick out of the vise.

    Cheers, JR
