Eva U. ★★★★★

Finally, a way to dial in my 3-inch parallels without guessing—the 1/64-inch increments make setup feel almost surgical. I’ve used them to raise a workpiece just enough to clear the blade, and the spacing stayed rock-solid.

Eli ★★★★★

These shims are exactly what I needed to fine-tune my setup for a recent milling project. The 3-inch length fits perfectly under my workpiece, and having three pairs gives me plenty of room to experiment with different heights.

Nicholas L. ★★★★★

The 1/64-inch increments let me dial in my workpiece spacing exactly where I needed on a recent dovetail job. They fit snugly onto my existing 3-inch parallels without any wobble.
