Having a tool like this can greatly increase your confidence and allow you to take on projects that require greater precision.
These router table set up bars make it quick and simple to measure the angle of my table saw blade, or the height of the router bit. I use these for not only my table router but also to get a quick thickness of the fence boards that I run through my planer. These are very light and the lazer engraved measurements are top notch. I think anyone who works with wood should definitely have a set of these.
There are the tools that I have always had in my toolbox and have been following the certain way to use them for years. These have taken the basic router and table saw blocks and changed the game. I would be severely bummed if I had to go back to the old rectangle that everybody else is making because I have integrated these so often in my projects. The redesign was outside the box, and so are the uses.
These are quality aluminum setup blocks that are accurate both in theory and after cutting the depth matches exactly.
First, I'm not even really a novice woodworker. I have the tools, just never had the time or space until recently. I never knew something like these height gauges existed, I've always used a carpenter square or tape to measure router bit height or saw blade depth (obviously my cuts were not always accurate as a result). These were amazing to use.
