Hi Mike,

It's a shame that OP won't be developing these guides. However, I'm still interested, and I would prefer it as a kit.

Mike,

I agree with Hamlin. I too think it a shame that OP will not have metric sized guides. I am very pleased that Template Tom's ideas are the showing the way. I am very interested and I also would prefer a set, preferably more or less parallel to the current OP set.
