Expected better

Expected a little better for the price. The package arrived quickly, although it had almost no padding and one of the blocks was dented in one corner. The V-block itself looks good, has a nice finish and appears to have been carefully crafted, although I didn't take any measurements.

Pros
  • Doping 🔥
Cons
  • Expensive

Good blocks. Terrible brackets.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

As I did so, I wondered if I would tighten or loosen it. But this thought was short lived as this was my first time using it I went to carve a…

Pros
  • Inspires Confidence
Cons
  • Out of Style
