There are 17 pieces in a set, and they can be easily used to set up the height of fences, router tables and other cutters according to your needs.
The blocks are 75mm x 20mm and have sizes of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 12.5, 15, 16, 18, and 20mm, and a master block 75x50x25.
Machined from 6082 aluminium and anodised for durability, the Laser marked each size with the size +-0.07
Excellent
The set is fairly accurate. I measured all of them and the most accurate setup block was the 1mm, which measured 1.01mm. Well within tolerances for wood working. The thing that I wasn't impressed with, was the finish. You can see the swirl machining marks on every block, with the 25x75x50 block showing the most. I will admit I don't have much experience with setup blocks. My only other set is imperial brass and they are perfectly smooth. It may just be a difference in materials.
I do want to celebrate the mini sustainer and it's clever design. I can't help but smile every time I open it!
Lovely set up blocks perfect again from Benchdogs only down side was the delivery from Royal Mail it looked like they had been thrown around the van none of the pieces were in there slots the partition foam was stuck to the box and blocks which I had to get the glue off but this doesn’t detract what benchdogs do
Finally! A metric set that doesn't feel like a modified imperial set after thought. All 3 dimensions of each block actually make sense. The only thing I would have liked to see different is to trade out the 20mm block which is technically a duplication of every block except the largest (they are all 75x20xY) and instead have a 0.5mm thick block as the thinnest. I will be happy to off load my Woodpeckers set for this one. The organization of the small Systainer is well planned and prevents the thin blocks from bending or flexing.
