Am I wrong or are parallel clamps supposed to be parallel? On my Jets,
the end clamp section tilts in a bit and the adjustable end tilts in a
bit (1/32-1/16"), after tightening.

Is there an adjustment procedure with these or are parallel clamps just
supposed to be "close to parallel?"

The description of some parallel clamps (I think they were Blessy)
in one of the woodworking catalogs says that the adjustable end is
tilted 1.5 degrees. Probably so that pressure equalizes along the
face of the clamp when it is drawn tight.
