: I use these setup blocks to setup the tablesaw for strips, and
: well, just about anywhere else that needs small precise spacing.

Wow. You must be a pro! Those beauties remind me of the standard dimension blocks I used to use when I worked in a standards shop - about 50 years ago! I did, however, invest in a digital caliper when I started boatbuilding- worth its weight in gold!

I use a skilsaw rather than a table saw because my workshop is not long enough to pass strips through a fixed tool. I have equipped my skilsaw with a finish quality blade and an oversized zero-clearance ply footplate, and clamp a long guidestrip to it. I can respectable results with that setup, errors down to about 1/64" - better on a good day. But the down side is, there is nothing to ensure the guide stays parallel to the blade, so I need the longer setup strips.
