*shakes head* I'm too weak.
No idea how accurate they are yet, but I figure for that price even if they are well out they will still be good for fixturing when welding stuff up.

Join the club.
That's it. For their price, even if they end up being used for a completely different use, or as "just in case" affair, they're worth having.

Mine arrived today, quick inspection they appear good, except ai assume its a 3/8 UNF thread? Would be much more useful if they were M8.
Also while we are talking of squares above... This is a good thing to have and comes with a square. Easily worth the £30 when you need to set an accurate angle.

They are just (hopefully) matched blocks which are square and parallel and 1" by 2" by 3" with a series of tapped and clearance holes.
You can use them for spacing off parts, or bolt them together or to other things in various configurations for making jigs and fixtures or setting up for different machining operations.
Really just a handy reference and spacer dimensioned in convenient multiples which you can stack up and bolt things to as required.
Probably 3/8 whit

I was given a few things over the last 2 days.
Plus I was able to liberate other things.
A new neighbour has moved in, this is some of the stuff I was gifted from their skip.
Theses are pants, they strip out the threads and the Torx holes are like butter.
2more Pencil sharpeners. The hovercraft is one I had many many decades ago.
Looks good, but the batteries have leaked.
The Volts and Amps still work
Complete, but in need of some TLC.
A tidy set of scales.
A skip find.

This was the best skip find this year.
2 rusty baskets, well no.
I have the item they were attached too.
