Mayline - Plastic End Stops

Plastic End Stops

Secure your parallel bar and prevent costly drops with screw-mounted stops

Parallel rules slide off drawing boards during transport or storage, damaging the mechanism and leaving you with an expensive repair. These plastic end stops prevent that problem entirely. Mount them to your board's front edge with the included screws, and they create a physical barrier that keeps the rule securely positioned while still allowing full range of motion during use.

The stops serve double duty by securing the straight edge cable system that keeps your parallel rule tracking true across the board. Without proper cable tension and anchoring, even minor bumps can throw off alignment, forcing you to re-square everything mid-project. These components maintain that critical cable positioning through moves, adjustments, and daily studio activity.

Sold as a matched pair for balanced installation on both sides of your board. Simple screw mounting means you can install them in minutes with basic tools, then forget about them while they do their job. Essential hardware for anyone who moves their drawing board regularly or works in shared studio spaces where equipment gets bumped and shifted.
