5.0 out of 5 stars Setup blocks
Works as described
4.0 out of 5 stars Banged up, scratched, chipped, but accurate
These setup blocks initially look like surprisingly bad quality for what should be a precise measuring tool, but after some testing they appear to be more accurate than they at first seemed.The first thing I realized when I opened the case is that half of the blocks had come loose and rolled around during shipping, despite the three layers of foam meant to keep them in place. As I sorted them, I noticed how badly damaged they were; nothing too obvious, but exactly the kind of damage you’d expect from putting several aluminum blocks in a small container and shaking it around. They’d been chipped and scratched and gouged and dented. They’re all in pretty rough shape, but not just from shipping. Some have burrs along their edges; sharp ridges left over from the casting process. Some are missing chunks of paint, and some are even slightly deformed. I wanted to know if they were still accurate enough to be used as intended, so I set about using my calipers to find out.Here’s what I found:The 1/16, 3/32, 7/32, 5/16, 1/4, 9/32, 23/32, 15/32, 1/2, and 3/4 blocks are all accurate to within +/- 0.001. This is the commonly accepted industry standard for consumer-grade setup blocks like these, and I’m a little surprised they did so well, considering the amount of defects and damage visible on each one.The others are more severe in their variations, but still within +/- 0.01.1/8 = -0.0075/32 = -0.0043/16 = -0.0047/16 = -0.0063/8 = -0.008Overall, these are surprisingly good, despite the amount of damage they suffered during shipping and the level of manufacturing defects present. Considering the price, I can’t help but recommend these. They may not look the greatest, but they’ll give you the results you’re after.👍
5.0 out of 5 stars SPOT ON
compelled to write review....Holy schnikees!!!!I got them just now and immediately got digital calipers to check tolerances. Except for 3/8 [1/128 off].... every other was exactly SPOT ON.What a value [prime day] Now I wish I'd purchased a second one [for dry fitting drawers]
2.0 out of 5 stars My set was undersized
First off, these are setup blocks, not gauge blocks.I measured mine with a known good caliper, and compared them to gauge blocks. Most setup bars in the set measured too small, only a few were bang on, none were too big. I know it's just for woodworking but I don't need a set with a bias, so returned them.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good deal
Great value, good quality
4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful blocks, good for random use in the shop for quicker and more accurate quick measures
Upon arrival, the blocks didn't look so hot - scratched and disorganized - due to a flimsy plastic case. But the damage wasn't bad, just a few scratches. The blocks look durable and I am sure they will hold up well in the long run with light sporadic usage. I've found them very helpful for quick marking of dimensions for cutting on my miter saw, no need to get a ruler or tape measure for marking cuts - where smaller dimensions are hard to mark out anyway. Just got a very sharp pencil and pick the right block!
