OK. got it. Don't order it in the dead of winter. I think I'm safe with this batch.

Why?

Ed

it will separate I know the bottle I had froze, and wouldn't mix back together

Here's mine. Genuine 3M 60 grit belts for $6.27 and four 123 blocks for $5.98 each, shipped. You can't buy the steel for that

Tom

But are they 1x2x3 Tom, or are they 1ishx2ishx3ish !

I keep threatening myself to check mine, but then I think maybe I don't want to know. (Ignorance is bliss they say.)
I doubt I'm ever going to spend the money for several sets of precise matched sets of blocks. I don't even have a set of gauge blocks.

Like Tom said, you can't even buy the raw stock to make your own for the cost of what those blocks sell for. Assuming you have a surface grinder at your disposal.

I have all ways wonted a set of them but in metric

They are in metric: 25.4 x 50.8 x 76.2

so the 2 sets I have, one of them can be fractional and the other set can be metric, I'm excited at that thought

[awemawson]

.... and indeed they can be both Metric and Imperial if the tolerances are a bit loose .... :)

You peaked my curiosity so I checked them and was pleasantly surprised. They were closer to 1"x2"x3" than I could measure with gauge blocks and a tenth reading indicator. Of course they were Chinese gauge blocks

Anyway, they are good enough for my needs and certainly worth the $5.98 I paid for them.

Excellent. The Chinese can make good stuff, sadly much gets through that isn't up to snuff.
