Taytools 469744 1-2-3 Blocks No Holes Matched Pair (2 Each), Hardened Steel RC 55-62, (1"x2"x3") 123 Precision Ground Machinist Set Up Blocks

Delivery was quick and arrived in an unmark box. The acuracy and quality of the 3,2,1 block are great and measured dead on. I also use this variety of aplications like checking the square on my table saw fence and thanks to this blocks i was able to square my fence to the blade. Great tool to have.

Needed some solid, no hole blocks to calibrate a laser table. Have some Wen 1–2-3 blocks that are exact, but the holes interfered with calibration. These blocks are as exact as the Wen blocks (perfect!) and worked exactly as needed. Edge chamfering took care of any edge burr issues that I could see, which were none. Would recommend to anyone needing solid 1-2-3 blocks.

No complaints, the product is well made and accurate enough for my purpose.

I bought these to have two more 1-2-3 blocks in my woodworking shop. I have a pair with the holes in them and sometimes those holes are just in the wrong place for marking or measuring against so I figured these solid blocks would be good to have around. I use my 1-2-3 blocks so frequently. One of the best things to have in the top drawer of your workbench as you'll find so many uses for them.These solid blocks were checked with 2 different digital gauges (calipers and depth gauge) and both stopped dead on 1.0000, 2.0000, and 3.0000 inches. The only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 is the fact that the beveled edges look like they were done by a sleep deprived toddler with an angle grinder. My w/holes 1-2-3 blocks of a different brand were just as inexpensive but the edge breaks look as thought they were done by machine. The bevel on these solid blocks will not cause dimensional issues but it does make them about useless for scribing a pencil line along their edge. I recently used it to scribe a line with a marking knife which references the face and it worked perfectly fine for that.

I can grind these blocks parallel and square closer than they come. If they go undersize it doesn’t matter. You can’t buy the steel rough it in, heat treat it and grind them to size for the price.

I bought another pair of blocks from another manufacturer at the same time and while both sets measure accurately, this set is nicely machined. No need to look any further. These do what they are supposed to do, are accurate, and about as well machined as anyone could expect at this price. That is not a cut on the product, i think if i wanted better machining i would expect to pay something in the area of 10x this price, so even at double the price i would have been very happy.

After reading about several setup blocks covered in anti-rust goop, I thought I'd get solid ones since I have no plans on using the threaded holes. When these arrived I was surprised how heavy they were. It's not a problem, but I'm using these to set bit and blade heights so it would be nice if they moved around a little more easily so I could worry less about hitting my carbide cutters with one. Again, no complaints with these, I'd just get blocks with holes drilled through them so they'd be lighter. Incidentally, these were not covered with goop.
