FastCap Mag Shims

Very useful to as a set bars for router and table saw. Dead on width accuracy. I measured each disc with a micrometer and the increments when added together and they are spot on and that is using a micrometer that automatically measures in 128th of an inch - each one was 1/8 dead on. The two 1/16 metal discs (layers) are very useful to. I also use these as spacer spacers for inset door gaps and spacing between drawer faces. Works great as a depth gauge on my router table- can raise the bit 1/8 inch at a time to get clean passes. I am an intermediate level wood worker who started as a complete novice and these have been a useful tool to “up my game”. I plan to buy another one in case I need to have more for wonder spacers. One thing, the magnets are strong as heck and will snap together when two faces get close- hurts like heck. Have to slid them apart and slide them together..... buy one and you will see what I mean.

I’ve used this set of gauges far more than I thought I would. They are very handy for many set up tasks on my saw and router. For example, I was able to easily position my router bit to the center of a board using the 1/16 gauge in conjunction with the one-eighth gauges. Good quality. The magnets really stick together well. The plastic is super tough. Worth the money.AD2

Simple and works well. Plenty of thickness options. Magnets are strong.

These are great. They live on my table saw fence for blade height and fence location. Obviously they can be used on many other machines. It’s a great value if you’ve ever priced set up blocks. Don’t hesitate buying these. There is a YouTube video on how to use these. It's by a shop teacher who I think invented this cleaver tool. I hope he's better than the shop teacher I had. That guy told me that I should avoid any occupation where I had to use my hands. I eventually became a dentist and now build fine furniture. Some teaches do more harm than good. Why only four stars? When I got them there was a bit of plastic extruded over one magnet which prevented them from laying flush. I pulled the excess plastic off and pared down the high spot with a sharp chisel. Took 30 seconds. Hope the manufacturer reads this.

Great/handy shims to keep in your apron

I haven't had these long but use them all the time, nearly every time I'm in the workshop. It's surprising how handy they are. I've even used the corners to mark out corner curves. They have strong magnets so they store easily on any metal surface. The only warning is that they really will pinch your fingers. You need to hold them back away when you are putting them back with the group. They'll "fly" back together without your finger in the middle. No complaint about this, because I like the strong magnets. Just something to learn to use correctly. I may get the mm ones sometime, though I don't use metric that often. Metric has somewhat smaller increments, though the 1/8" ones make a taller stack overall. I like having the two 1/16" ones especially.

Works great when paired with a marking knife to scribe off filler panels. Magnets hold your scribe knife flush

These are very nice for precise saw adjustments. And the magnets are great if you have steel on your tools. My problem is that my main table saw is all aluminum, magnesium, and plastic. But still a great addition for table saws, router tables, drill presses, and band saws.

Probabaly a good tool but I havent used it yet as it came damaged but the box is fine so I don't know happened, maybe manufacturer?
