I got these at Rockler in Pasadena a couple of weeks ago. They've proven VERY useful. I also got a height guage for about $10, too. The combination has been great.

I'm not seeing free shipping. 9.99 for setup bars, 6.99 for shipping.

That worked, thanks. Also picked up another set of T-track. Marked down to $14.99.

Do those setup bars work better than drill bits? That's what I've been using. And they come in 1/64" increments. Just curious.

Thanks for the heads up (and to Joe and the t-track as well). Should make my life easier.

BIts are OK in that they are accurate. The square profile of the setup blocks has some advantages. Among other things you can feel with you hands when you put a block next to a rabbet that they are equal height whereas with a bit you would have to use a straight-edge.

It's only $10 BUCKS - get the blocks as well and you have both!

Picked up a set, thanks.

I got mine. Along with a couple of the Rockler "Sure-Foot" 3/4" pipe clamps with EZ-clutch to check those out.

If you're ordering from Rockler, get one of these:

I don't know how I ever lived without it. I can set the router bit height and distance to fence very precisely.

brass won't damage the bits or blades if you're careless when setting up with them like drill bits could.

Don't forget about the ability to stack them to create other sizes. Can't do that easily with the bits.

Exactly! I have had mine for awhile now and they are great for setting up dado depths. I can get very close with these.

I don't see where to put that code in.
