    Comments about Whiteside 5 Piece Brass Set-up Gauges, 4" :

    These set up bars are great they ensure accuracy, speed up set ups they are great to have and they are 4" long great for router set ups when using large router bits and the opening is big they won't fall thru the opening and brass will not damage your blades or bits in case of accidental contact. Great price.

    Comments about Whiteside 5 Piece Brass Set-up Gauges, 4" :

    I was suprised to find that the bars profile is square. Others that I have used were dimensioned for the bar size in only one direction. (The smaller bars were flat.) You don't have to worry about laying the bars down wrong. But, these square profile bars are a bit harder to stack and keep stacked. There are no dimensions on the bars. And, for the smaller bars, there isn't enough room to write the dimension on the bar either.

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Whiteside 5 Piece Brass Set-up Gauges, 4" :

    Very nice idea, a great time saver when you get used to using them instead of trying to measure with a tape. I use these pre-measured blocks for consistant & repeatable known height & depth set up's on the Table Saw, Router & for gauging Dado cut width's after shimming the blade stack
