These incredibly versatile blocks elevate your material to sit 1 1/2" above the work surface for convenient sanding, finishing, routing, and much more. The Blocks feature a GripMaxx™ surface on each face – one side to grip your workpiece, and one side to prevent the Blocks from moving around on your workstation. That’s great for tasks like sanding when you don’t want anything slipping and sliding. Elevating the material makes routing edges easier with added clearance for the router bit. The height also gives clamps room to fit the clamp head under the workpiece – which is useful for drilling pocket holes or assembling your project. When it comes to painting or finishing, use the retractable painting point with GripMaxx™ for a little extra height. Just twist the project block to raise the point to rest your material on – the painting points won’t even stick to your material or ruin your finish. Each purchase comes with a set of 4 pucks, with a collective 200-lb weight capacity, to easily balance your project of choice.
The Kreg Multipurpose Project Blocks are designed for woodworkers of all skill levels, providing a versatile solution for supporting and working on projects. These blocks elevate your material, making sanding, finishing, routing, and assembly easier. However, the 200-lb weight capacity of the set of 4 may not be suitable for extremely heavy projects.
