Pro-Draft Parallel Bar

Received this 60" Parallel Bar within a few days - fast - used UPS ground - well packaged and in good order. Parallel Bar is high quality, and easy to install. The 60" bar works great for my 72" table - leaving landing zones side to side (my preferred setup). Although not shown here - primarily use this table for 2 side by side 24" sheets. The operation of the bar is smooth and precise. Nice value for the money. Also picked up some new vinyl for the top.

I used a Mayline bar (no longer available) for way over 20 years, then I briefly had a bar by Alvin for less than 5 before it fell apart. I was happy to find the Martin Universal Parallel bar and I started using it immediately out of necessity. Installation was standard and instructions were straightforward. The "see-through" nature of the bar that I thought would be distracting I have found to be helpful. I have found the locking knob to perhaps too easily lose its setting but the single knob instead of two is an excellent improvement. Hopefully it will compare to the Mayline in longevity and outlast the Alvin (but that is a low bar to surpass- so to speak). Time will tell but I am very happy with the purchase so far.

An excellent parallel bar, replacing a forty year old bar. Easy to install. Good value.

The 60” parallel ruler was easy to install and works great. It is a professional tool. Very impressed.

We have 2 extremely good Maintenance men, and when opening the box to the Parallel Bar, there was a minor issue with the bar. I did notice the Bar Carton was slightly damaged. Anyway, the Maintenance men were able to get around the issue to make the Bar work.
