These set up blocks are Metric and range in sizes from 1mm thick to 20mm thick .
The file includes long blocks for a table saw and short blocks for a router. Or wherever you find a use for them.
They have the thickness marked on them and this corresponds to the height of the recess in the centre too.
So you can use them to set a fence or to get an accurate blade / router bit height too.
I have also given them different lengths as that seemed to be a useful addition.
I have printed mine with PETG but PLA is fine too, 3 wall, 15% infill and if you are feeling fancy you can use the iron function on the top surface.
I would not recommend printing all at once as all printers are calibrated differently. For this reason I have made a separate file for the 5mm short block. This way you can print it and using calipers on the width see if you need to raise or lower the 100% scaling to get the blocks as accurate as possible. If you scale the 5mm block to your printer, the same calibration will work for all blocks.
If you do need to scale, and you download the free plans for the holders, you may need to scale these too.
Blocks come in the following sizes.
Long 20mm, 15mm, 10mm, 9mm, 8mm, 7mm, 6mm, 5mm, 4mm, 3mm, 2mm, 1mm
Short 6mm, 5m, 4mm, 3mm, 2mm, 1mm.
Lengths covered, 150mm, 145mm, 140mm,130mm, 120mm, 100mm, 70mm, 65mm, 60mm, 55mm, 50mm.
