WEN 10423 3 x 2 x 1-Inch Steel-Hardened Precision 123 Blocks, Two Pack

As a result, precision measuring blocks in a plastic envelope are available. I'm sure they were in great shape before Amazon shipped them in a thin, not-so-protective box. even- really- plastic envelope with padding They're number one and two. each pound, and a high level of accuracy For measuring and calibration, they're made to very tight tolerances, so pop a pair in a thin envelope and send them across the country. Isn't it safe to assume they'll be okay? br>br>All right, let's get started. During shipping, seven of the eight outside corners were smashed. What makes you think that? I swear they would have arrived in better condition if the shipping label had been directly applied to the metal blocks and thrown into the van. My sandpaper sheets, on the other hand, had arrived a few days earlier in a cardboard box surrounded by bubble wrap, so they were fine. br>br>I'm only giving these one star, which is completely unfair to WEN because they make excellent products at low prices, but someone at Amazon needs to put a flag in their system telling their warehouses to STOP shipping crap like this in those stupid little envelopes. My high- A damaged end table saw blade was also delivered in a plastic envelope. This is starting to irritate me.

Three scale modeling blocks to use. Their precision is well within the bounds of the model. putting together specifications Because of their weight and shape, they're perfect for keeping corners square while cementing and setting. The blocks had an "oily residue," according to one complaint. It's a machine tool component, so there's bound to be some oily residue! This keeps it from rusting after it's been manufactured! It is for this reason that machine tools are kept oiled. I took mine out of the box, took them out of the plastic bag, and sprayed them with WD-40 minutes after they arrived. I wiped the blocks until the machine oil and WD-40 were no longer visible. The number 40 had vanished. It's possible that whatever residue was left on the model transferred to the model, but I always de- It's not a big deal to grease or clean any model before painting it. br>br>They will rust if you live in a humid climate like I do. I do, however, keep them clean and PTFE dry-sprayed. It performs admirably. Buy them. br>br> They're a fantastic deal for my needs!.

Half a thousandth of a millionth of a millionth of a millionth of one millionth of For $20, I wasn't expecting such precision. The surface finish was excellent, and there were no burrs or sharp edges around the holes or on the chamfers, as I had read in other manufacturer's reviews. I haven't tried the threaded holes yet, but I'm not planning on using them. Protective oil was included with the package. I cleaned the surface before using it, but then used the rag to apply a light coat. (I've seen some people complain about rust, but unless your tools are made of stainless steel, you need to take some preventative measures. ) Highly recommended. It was well worth the money.

They're one, two, and three blocks apart. You should not be reading this review if you have no idea what 123 blocks are. These 123 blocks are completely acceptable. They're exactly an inch, two inches, and three inches in length, according to my calipers. I used them to set up welding setups, and they accurately offset my material by an inch. I've also used them to accurately measure variance in a lathe bed, and they've worked flawlessly. These 123 blocks can be purchased for a reasonable price. They're an inch long, two inches long, and three inches long.

I used to be able to get by without these 3x2x1 blocks, but now I'm not so sure. I wish I could get back the time saved by using the 3x2x1 blocks when it comes to fitting, measuring, and squaring (and sometimes getting it wrong). You'll get it right the first time if you use some magnets and a Stronghold grasshopper. br>br>An aside is using the blocks to measure EXACTLY 1 - 2 - or 3 inches with sloppy accuracy if you don't have a tape measure. I use these primarily for welding, but they're also useful for table saw offsets and ensuring my bandsaw is running smoothly. The table saw blades are set at a perfect 90-degree angle. I've been looking for these for a long time.

I got these to within a tenth of a millimeter of each other My caliper has a precision of 0. 004 inches. I use them in my woodworking. They arrive in a nicely boxed, plastic-wrapped package with a light coat of machine oil. These are things I wish I'd known about years ago! Always remember, "Semper Fi. " Thank you for your time.

They can be used together, and you can buy them with screws to attach them (which I did not), but that's not why I bought them; every craft I do requires 1,2,3 inches, plus weight to hold down the cloth or material, and sometimes a perfect 90 degree corner; these blocks are so useful that I'm not sure why I didn't buy them 20 years ago. They come in a set and are coated in Machine oil, so be sure to clean them with gloves. They're also pretty to look at, but you could use them as a pencil holder as well. Toolkits and hobbies will benefit greatly from this addition.

(Instructions for cleaning) They carry out their responsibilities to the best of their abilities. A 3/8 16tpi bolt threads easily but will not pass through the untapped holes (which is correct). )br>They are wrapped in waxy tissue paper and have a protective coating. br>With a rag and some Denatured Alcohol (found near paint thinners at big box home improvement stores), you can easily remove the coating. ) You'll need to submerge the blocks in the solution and use a brush to remove the coating from the holes as well.
