Hi Oliver. Haven't seen you on here for a long time. I hope you will repost some of you atomatons and toys. I know there are thousands of new members who have never seen them.I’m amazed at how often I find myself reaching for my set of setup bars. My iGuaging set ranges from 1/16th to 3/4” plus a 1” x 2” x 3” block. The sizes are in 1/32” increments. Definitely a hero tool. But, I also use some shop-made pieces made from hardwood. I sliced them from 3/4” stock in widths of 1/8”, 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”, and 3/4”. Each one is 12” long. They aren’t precision, but they give me a fairly accurate quick-and-dirty setup which is good enough for a lot of my projects.
I have the iGuaging set also and like them because of the 1/32" increment. I also have the Infinity set because I had an application in which the iGuaging set was not quite long enough. The Infinity set is 1" longer but they do not have 1/32" increments. I use them regularly.I’m amazed at how often I find myself reaching for my set of setup bars.

Did you check your apron pockets?Interesting to see this because just earlier today I was looking for some setup bars to replace my set that I cannot figure out where they are after searching all corners and nooks and crannies of my shop. Looking at some made aluminum by Kreg
