Pretty much everytime I use my mill these get used for something, wether it be as parallels, spacers, packing pieces, mounting jigs etc.
Strangely enough I thought I could never manage without a set of those 123 blocks so bought a set about five years ago. They are still in the box brand new and unused !!Phil
How is that vise stop gizmo used?

That'll be a really big thread.....tools you were convinced you couldn't live without, but actually could .
Great stuff Marv! I really like your idea of the guitar string worm gear source, that may see use on my Marion model for the steering gear.
I use often these little home made squares for holding small parts in the mill vice truly perpendicular to a side. I picked the idea in the workshop manual book by GH Thomas.As this axle box was sawn from a milled bar, I cannot rely on the base to mill the opposite face, hence this handy square.
