More About Perfect Miter Setup Blocks:
Picture framers and segmented turners will love our Perfect Miter Setup Blocks. The blocks make it a snap to dial in the exact miter gauge settings for frames with anywhere from 4 to 12 sides. Each block has three miter slots, each for a specific polygon: a hexagon, heptagon, octagon, and so forth. Just fit the setup block over your miter bar, snug the block up to the fence, and tighten the knob to lock in your setting. Now you can make your cuts with the utmost confidence that all the miters will line up perfectly. No need for math, reference charts, test cuts, or trying to compensate for inaccuracies in your miter gauge scale. The blocks don't rely on scale—they are dead set on accuracy.
