John M on Oct 20, 2015
I've learned early that the right tool can make a big difference and save time. Set up bars allow for just that! No guessing if the tape measure was placed correctly. Set up bars take out the guess work and help to speed up the accuracy of your cuts. Don't over think it - from table saws to routers these bars help you set up your tool for precision cuts, period.

Excellent tool!
These setup bars have no equal when setting saw/dado blade or router bit depth of cut. It is also the perfect tool for calibrating a box joint jig. I've used mine during project layout tasks when a ruler was too big and just won't fit. They worked great at the drill press when I needed to drill holes offset from the preceding hole. If you need spacers during assembly these are the tools to have.

Easy Setup
These bars make it easy to set uo router to make cuts, the container is nice also. It would be an improvement if they would stamp the sizes on the bars.
