Need parallel and thin hardened bar

[lesrhorer]

I accidentally damaged one of my parallels, so I would like to replace it. Does anyone have a spare 1/8" x 1-3/8" x 6" parallel I could buy?

Also, I would like to obtain a small, thin, hardened steel bar. The actual dimensions are not critical. Something around 0.050" x 0.5" x 4" or so. Does anyone have something like that they no longer need?

Sounds like you want a blade for a cutoff tool.

Even if you find one, you’ll still need to get the use of a surface grinder so you can end up with a pair: it’s unlikely that two individual parallels from different sets will be the same height. Better to get an inexpensive set, then you’ll have spare pairs.

Yes, I should have said a pair. Does anyone have a pair of parallels to sell?

That would work, as long as it is a flat cutoff tool. Many of them are tapered.
