Neitra Setup Blocks Woodworking - 15 PCS Aluminum Height Gauge Blocks Set for Router and Table Saw Accessories Woodworking Set Up, Precision Setup Bars Include Laser Engraved Size Markings

Product has been offered to me for review. Great bar set for woodworking. Plastic case seems durable, has 2 latches, is compact. Insert foam is rigid type. Great for secure holding power but difficult to take bars out (a finger notch would help greatly). Case layout is compact with 2 columns of bars (tight spacing makes it slightly more difficult to take bars out). Anodized orange color is awesome for visibility (makes white numbers easy to read AND makes it very easy to find even the smaller bars on my white outfeed/work table). The hard anodized paint has a shimmering iridescence that has really grown on me. The surface is extremely durable - hard to scratch and is easy to clean. The white laser etched numbers are some of the larger size I've seen with setup bars - makes it easier on old eyes! Also, every bar has 2 sides with the numbers; even the 1/16 bar! Most other setup bars have numbers on one side only. My calipers are broken so I could not confirm the "2" & "3" for the 1/2/3 block. For all measurements, I used a Starrett #436 1 inch micrometer that was zero'd and referenced. No bar was unacceptable for woodworking use. The largest deviations were 3 mils. I measured at 3 points across each bar. All bars were consistently uniform (w/i 1 mil across length). I recently purchased another brand (it's black with white numbers). I favor its case and insert foam BUT hands down, I prefer the Nietra orange bars for easy to read use. I wish manufacturers would include two additional size bars - 5/8" and 1/32" (like a shim). Overall, I highly recommend the Nietra set. I may receive a set for free but after using it, I would not hesitate to buy it.

A must have. Makes table saw and router setup fast and accurate. I measured the thickness with a digital caliper and they are very precise. Great value! N I’m

The product arrived promptly and exceeded all my expectations. It was shipped in a cardboard outer box from the manufacturer which protected the plastic case and contents from Amazon's poor mailing techniques. The plastic case is double latched and contains a fitted DENSE foam insert for the setup blocks. The blocks are easy to remove and reinsert in the dense foam. Markings are the blocks are NUMEROUS and easy to read. No matter what direction you put them in the case you can read the size directly since they are marked on 4 sides. I bought the blue blocks. I used my digital calipers on the blocks (English fractional setting) and they are all the EXACT measurement indicated. Absolutely SPOT on PERFECT. The manufacturer also contacted me (via message) to ensure that the blocks were received without damage. That was a nice follow-up from them. The blocks cost a few dollars more than other similar ones on Amazon, and I am glad a spend a few dollars more on these. DEFINITELY worth it!

I was searching for some nice setup blocks that were accurate and had the small increment markings on the side. Ordered a set of these, received them quickly. This is a very smart looking set of blocks, the orange color with black markings make it easy to read. The markings are all very sharp and clear. I measured every dimension of each block, and the accuracy surprised me. They are dead on, with only one being slightly undersized by a couple thousandths. Their customer service person, Nancy, quickly and kindly offered a solution, and took care of the issue. Each block is marked with its width, and also in small increments both horizontally and vertically. The sharp markings look to be laser engraved, and are easily read even to these old eyes. They came in a nice plastic box with a foam insert that keeps each block secure. You can carry this set around without fear of any coming loose and banging into each other. If you want an accurate set of aluminum setup blocks, I highly recommend this set. It was nice receiving a high quality product, and the excellent customer service is top notch.

I bought these because the previous reviews (sponsored by the company I believe) said they were of great quality and the pictures looked great! I will say I think these will do just fine for the applications that I need. However, they aren't perfect in size. The worst being the 3/4 where it hovered between 0.005" and 0.007" off. All the other sizes are around 0.002" off on the shy side. The color and imprint are very easy to read. Unlike some other inexpensive setup blocks, these are correctly labeled on the label side. The opposing length seems shy of 0.5" but is close. The carrying case is good enough with two catch latches on the side. The foam padding feels quality and the cutouts for the foam are EXTRA tight on removal. I'd recommend cutting out circles on the end of the holders and just having the set up blocks retained with friction in the middle. These can be removed but you have to push on one end while trying to pry up. It's a little difficult when all the pieces are in there. Overall, I'm using these for woodworking so I'm not too worried about couple thousands off. It is food for thought for the supplier though. Lastly, I didn't check the anodize. I don't want to try and scratch it to see how hard the coating is. It seems sturdy enough!

Shortly after ordering this, I received a message from the vendor that shipment may be delayed due to package being damaged in transit. The company's rep, Nancy was right on top of this. She was very helpful in making sure I was kept aware of all attempts to resolve the issue. Apparently at some point, the package was returned to Amazon as undeliverable. In the meantime, she had sent me a replacement at no additional cost. Communication with vendor was excellent. When I did receive item, I was quite impressed. I use these primarily as gauges for routing depth on a router table. You can trust they are accurate. Every one was exact dimension it claimed to be. The numbers are clear and easy to read, even the smallest dimension. Even with the original snafu (no fault of vendor's) and slight delay of delivery, this turned out to be a very good purchase.

The set came in a nice hard plastic storage case, with a spot for each block. The blocks are very accurate. Unlike most, these blocks are marked (engraved) on each side with their measurement, as well as having a measuring scale on one side. With 16 pieces (15 blocks and case) you can't go wrong. I build acoustic guitars, as well as repairing guitars and restoration of historical guitars. I frequently need thin strips of wood. The blocks make it easier to set up the saw for several repeatable cuts. The blocks are nicely engineered and heavy. I highly recommend this set. UPDATE: I just received a message from Nietra to make sure the blocks arrived on schedule and in good condition. This speaks volumes about the their excellent customer service.

This Neitra setup block set has quickly become a go-to tool in my woodshop. Whether I’m setting up router bit heights, table saw fence distances, or dialing in a dado stack, these blocks eliminate the guesswork. The anodized aluminum finish is clean, the laser-etched markings are crisp and easy to read, and each block is precisely machined to spec. The variety of thicknesses (from 1/16" up to 3/4") gives you plenty of flexibility, and you can combine them to hit odd measurements without pulling out a tape or caliper. They’re especially handy for repeatable setups—you can trust the setup will be the same every time. Highlights: Accurate within tolerances you'd expect from machinist tools Solid feel and non-slip finish Comes in a compact, well-organized storage box Saves a ton of time compared to fiddling with rulers or gauges If you care about precision, these are a smart investment. You’ll wonder how you ever set up without them.
