Awesome. Thank you for the video. Plain and simple, straight to the point, no redundant nonsense that others would put to make it 17 minutes long. Helpful as well, I am buying those. God bless
I love mine, but I bought them for the complete opposite end of the spectrum than you, I'm using them to line up my X-acto to cut bricks into XPS foam at 13 rows per inch. I'm making a 1/35 scale model of my home.
Carrie, that is a wonderful way to use 1-2-3 Blocks! It’s pretty amazing, how simple these tools are, and yet how useful they can be in such a diverse variety of ways. Their versatility is literally endless.
I sometimes tram my quill to the vise by placing a 1 2 3 block against the quill and the front of the flat portion of the vise. Once it sits flat on both side it’s pretty much tramed. Like finding the center of a rod with a flat
123 blocks are amazing calculation tools, the simple 123 ratio allows you to use pathogens therum to set up perfect angles with a sign bar. The block has far more power than a simple spacer.
Well I was way off on these! I thought the blocks had something to do with the alignment of the holes used for measuring & drilling purposes. So that's Awesome, I learned something new! Thanks for your video👍😉🇨🇦
Actually, Durty, some of the holes are threaded and some are not. They allow the users to mount them to other objects, or to mount other objects to them. They can even be fastened together (to each other) by using those holes.
@@wonbythe1 you could still rest the underside of the top on a 123 block. Angled parts like that are usually held in a vee block with a bar in the part vee. This would square it up in both axes.

They can also be paper weight or even be used to throw them at someone or even they are great for storing, endless uses. Dude you can do they same exact thing with just about anything

Glad we could help! They are definitely a versatile addition to any shop.
Thank you. Very useful. I think I need these.
I’m just getting into machining and this was very useful thank you
Many thanks.

Although 1-2-3 Blocks are so basic and simple, they're usefulness is endless.

great video......thanks so much.....Paul in Florida
Thanks for watching Paul!
@@traverstool1 always great information....thanks

Very welcome
Thank you very useful
Glad it was helpful!
why some have a different numbers of holes?
brailosky15, sometimes the holes are used to mount other blocks, or something else. It just depends on how it's used.
I would use machinists jacks !
As would I, Jeffrey. Some smaller shops may not have them though, and this works as a good substitute.
The only thing I didn't hear explained was why they have holes throughout them. Why is that?
A couple of different reasons Durty. They make the blocks lighter and allow them to be connected to each other or a work table.
Actually, Durty, some of the holes are threaded and some are not. They allow the users to mount them to other objects, or to mount other objects to them. They can even be fastened together (to each other) by using those holes.
👍
The bracket at the end could have been simply held on the ends in the vice.
100% true, tates11. And that would be the better way to do it, but that wouldn't show the usefullness of 1-2-3 Blocks.
