Review on πŸ”§ Enhance Precision with Whiteside Machine 9800 Brass Set Up Gauge Blocks by Ryan Nguyen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not perfect perfect

If 0.0005 thousandths don't annoy or bother you during processing, then this is the perfect product for you. I was trying to save some money. and not. With the money saved, I spent several hours grinding stones, plating them, and converting measurements to the next smaller metric measurement. I engraved the new sizes onto the brass blanks for the box labels and glued them. They will serve a specific purpose, but not the one originally intended. When it comes to tooling, you get EXACTLY what you pay for. Treat it and craft your own tools. Time plus materials plus craftsmanship and pride in a job well done will always feature prominently on your tool shelf. However, they are suitable for woodworking, installing heavy gaskets and bookmarks. If you want "quick and dirty" spacers, these will do. Sometimes it's good to have a tool that won't break your heart or your wallet so you can use it in a sacrificial environment. Great seller, fast service, properly packaged and exactly what I paid for. Overall not a bad deal. Carpenters will find them very useful! I recommend this product for the above reasons. But for my machine shop I make mine.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • I can't remember but there was something
