I just stumbled on a set of gage blocks a couple of days ago, listed as..... "spacer block set". They are round, but for £ 20.00, or about $30.00 U.S. equivalent, I couldn't pass them by.

On ebay, I've often noticed that when I click on see other items the seller has, many times an item is listed with a title which doesn't fall under the heading that you would expect to find specific items for sale in. This is where I have found most of the bargains, as they seem to fall under the radar.

I guess that once you get a set of gage blocks, its justification to get a sine plate, height gage, and surface plate; at least that's what I'm telling my Wife.

That's how I got my machinist level. It was in the plumb bob category!
