It is not necessary to drill the holes all the way out.
Those two blocks alone aren't enough.

A few of the holes are threaded for use with different jigs and setups. It's much easier to work with them than solid steel because they're lighter and more flexible.

However, it is very This replacement for two structural pieces of 3" is what I bought. This is exactly what they are going to do. It measures one, two, and three inches exactly. I would like to draw your attention to two things. 1 *br You should be able to clean them when you get them since they are machined parts that are coated in grease to prevent rust. Rust will be an issue, so they will need some protection. Unless you want something breakable to go with them, do not order them with anything else. In mine, a circuit board was tossed into a bubble envelope along with the steel blocks. The hard edges of the steel survived being in the cover. In terms of the board, everything is fine.
The first point to consider is All of them were within spec. I was very pleased with the set. With two different micrometers, I measured each of the one" and two" dimensions, and both of them gave me readings A total of 000003 inches of spec dimension is required on both 1" and 2" According to the specification, this is well within specified bounds of zero. There was only one caliper capable of measuring the 3" dimensional accuracy for both blocks, but it was within specs as well. In the through-aural earphones, there is a finish that includes All holes, including threaded holes, have been drilled. Not so great. Other posters have said the same thing. In terms of quality, the ground or lapped surfaces of this highly polished tooling block were of good quality, and they were covered with machine oil, as expected. It's hard to know why people are surprised by this, it might be because they are not used to precision metal parts, components, and tools. In the case that they do not have oil coatings, it would be a great surprise (and a warning sign as to quality). *From reviews I read, I figured my only gamble would be the dimensional accuracy of the blocks, and I was right. The blocks (at least for the set I got) appeared to be within spec (I would have returned them if they were not). We encourage you to do the same! I like these a lot for the price We gave the overall "finish" a 4 out of 5 rating (through holes were particularly good). The next time I buy, I will.
The YouTube channel stumpy nubs recommended the use of inexpensive 321 blocks when building woodworking projects. They are ready in less than a second. It is not necessary to manipulate 001 in 3 dimensions and dead trees' carcasses in the same way as metal geeks say there are "half a thou" involved. In other words, if you're in the woodworking industry, these would be ideal. As a machinist, you should get these only to use on the field and leave your Starretts in.
There are rough surfaces on the holes, at least at first glance. These two holes are not round, as you can see from the photo of the two closest to the camera. Each one is made up of about a dozen straight cuts, giving them a It is just cosmetic and may not be noticed. The ones with threaded holes can hold bolts without a problem, and the ones with straight holes appear to be drilled. The bevels at the corners of the edges of the frames are cut a little deeper as well. As you move toward the bottom of the picture, you notice the line between the blocks looks fine. The only uneven part of the surface is the bevel. There is no bevel on the edges of the blocks, so they appear to be touching, but they are not. I did go over the oil with a rag before wiping it off with a cloth and it was yucky but manageable.
This block is made from something super greasy, but I'm not sure what was put on it when it was made. Three times I tried washing it with Dawn dish soap and SoftSoap, but it would not budge. My husband knows I shouldn't clean it since it would rust, but what happened was that it was stored in a vaseline that had an orange hue before it was wrapped in wax paper before it was shipped. This caused the wax paper to soak through, and when I tried to remove it, I had trouble because the wax paper was falling apart. I had to return it for this reason. It would have been possible for them to remove the chemicals after milling and re-apply them Adding something to it to make it more endurable Due to its ability to get all over everything, it is easy to use. The thing does, however, have a few holes, so it's not so bad. Without it, I would probably drop it due to its slippery nature.
It was measured with the most accurate caliper I own (to be precise). Based on the sample size of 1"x2"x3", these measurements match the sample exactly. There is a good sense of machined precision and they appear to have It fits a 3/8" bolt nicely through the threaded holes. Nuts and bolts do not fit through the holes that are not threaded. It's a bit disappointing, but we expected it. They are coated to prevent rust, as noted by others. In my case, it appears to be just a light light machine oil wrapped with a thin wax film. Printed on paper, in a plastic bag, in a cardboard Oils designed to prevent rust usually don't smell pleasant, but this is typical of rust preventative My paper towel wiped it off effortlessly, and I think I can get some WD-40 on the insides to flush them out The set I ordered is so good that I have ordered another one.
Some customers have complained about the oily / greasy nature of the blocks when they arrived. When I opened mine, there was grease on the surface, but a few minutes in my sonic tank took care of it. I believe the purpose of the grease is to prevent rust while stored for a long period of time. As if cosmoline was on a weapon.
In addition to the advertised tolerances, they are well beyond that. In fact, I find that they are just as accurate as my 300 dollar set, but they are made of carbon steel rather than stainless, so I cannot use them when cutting with water. If you must take that into account then the stainless ones are the more ideal choices. Since they fluctuate in size with temperature easily twice as much thanks to the vandium, I think these are the better option.
