A drop will cause the lid to pop open. It is more irritating to see the top and bottom identical. I think there is a 50/50 chance of you opening the case upside down and disposing of It's not that I failed to take the label off, it's just that I still open it the wrong way when I'm 2) The fatal flaw with this design is that the blocks are not dimensionally the same on each side, all being 1/2" wide. This makes sense for the smaller blocks, as one can tell which side is 1/16" and 1/2". The block used for the 7/16" was different. The labeled blocks are the only reason I cannot recommend these and (as you may guess) the reason I am writing Here are some of the good things Please note
It is available in a broad range of sizes-- Woodworking and joinery can be done with enough accuracy.
It appears I am not the only one who feels this way. wanted to comment on a complaint I saw elsewhere in the review of this product. Specifically, the thinnest two blocks (1/16" and 3/32") are bowed. In comparison to the 3/32", the 1/16" is more noticeable. According to my theories, the process of marking creates surface stresses that thinner blocks cannot endure. You can see in the attached picture that these two blocks are stacked face-to-face. To make things very clear, I say NAME (I'm calling the marked side the name). It is the same in both cases that when you place the back (not marked side) on a flat surface (like my table saw), the left and right side bow and the block rocks. Although I disagree with the other reviewer's view that they are "useless", I still believe they are valuable. With a few drops of pressure, you can flatten the block and use it as a spacer, so I haven't had any issues with it, but it is annoying and certainly devalues the product. The rest are accurate to within a few thousandths. I measured them with calipers and a thickness gauge, and they were all close to being accurate. It's certainly accurate enough to meet my needs as a woodworker. It would be a disaster if you tried to open the box upside down, so I recommend that you make sure that you label it "DO NOT OPEN FROM THIS SIDE" when you buy this. The only thing that wasn't fixed by a piece of tape and a marker was the leak.
The product is made The dimensions are precise. Perfect for working with wood. However, there is a lack of quality control in the final product. There is no marking on the top of one of the bars. There is some kind of sticky goo on the bars. There are no differences between the top and bottom of the case. In addition, as soon as the box is opened from the bottom up, all bars fall out of their holding positions. The logo should be positioned at the top of the page. Yes, it's an easy fix.
Each of the two smallest blocks contained a bow. This makes them almost useless, and their quality control is disappointing.
A cheap price. When used for the first time, this item will break. Similar to a box of colored pencils for kids. Secondly, they aren't even the same size. To make a set, they mixed and matched pieces from different batches. You do not have blue eyes or the picture is not blue because you don't have one. Not even the same font is used in the one block. The third item is that the blocks are riddled with burrs. Fiveth, accuracy was not a concern for me I did not even bother to pull out my calibers Block set is being sent back to UPS and will be returned to the company immediately. In the past several weeks, I've been eying this set. It is a real disappointment.
My vision is low though, so I am always searching for products to help me be more productive. This set of setup blocks is a great addition to my collection of devices to maintain my productivity because I can measure parts without a ruler and set up saws and fences without a ruler. An important drawback of the set is the low quality of the In most cases, using coarse and poor quality foam for holding blocks in order will tear and distort after a short period of time. It is important to have a way to keep the blocks organized, otherwise their use will be greatly reduced if not eliminated completely.
It would be great to make another purchase if I needed it! In my opinion, the case does not represent the product inside and I would gladly spend a little more money on a nicer.
I held off getting these after looking at a couple of other 2-packs In other tools, there is one set up for a table saw and router. It's more versatile since I can use it on both my table saw and router, so I chose the individual bar. You can turn the router upside down and use it on top of the plate, or you can flip it upside down and use it in the adjuster. In addition to being able to measure multiple places, I like that there are multiple bars to choose from. As far as I can tell, I have used my caliber on all the blocks and the tolerance is perfect!
Worth the cost even though it took me some time to decide. A. LATEST UPDATE As a gift, I bought a set and the recipient loves them.
