The Bridge City HP-8v2 Mini Block Plane and Mini Miter Squares are simply outstanding. The craftsmanship, machining quality, and precision are second to none. Every detail is beautifully executed, and both tools feel incredibly solid and accurate in use.
The HP-8v2 performs flawlessly and is a pleasure to adjust and use, while the Mini Miter Squares provide exceptional accuracy and confidence for layout work.
Beautifully designed, impeccably built, and remarkably precise—these are tools that are as functional as they are stunning. Highly recommended.
This tool is the most fun i have had with scraps in a long time. Just the combining and milling the donor wood and then the results the jig gives is incredible.
I got all 3 of the tri-squares they are well made and handy. I like them, but it would be nice if the 2 smaller ones had measurement markings. Still useful but could be just a little better. I use the 6” regularly.
The green arm makes beautiful delicate chopsticks. It’s all I use now.
I was getting some tearout with the standard blade, so I picked up the 50 degree kit. No more tearout even on curly maple and leaopard wood. Great upgrade.
I needed a relaxing way to start my day. Bought the chopstick master and now I make a pair each morning in my shop. It’s easy to use and I had the hang of it after only two or three pairs. I bought the optional green bar and the 50 degree plane blade and that’s all I use now.
I bought it to use, make take a while to break down and actually try it, way too pretty!
I collect planes as well and so far this one’s on the bling shelf!
love this tool, perfect addition to my hand plane quiver.
I wanted to get a precise and compact set of squares for machine setup and for layout. I settled on these beauties because Bridge City is known for precision tools and i was not disappointed. This is a perfect set of multi-angle squares and they look amazing.
Very nice will-call guys at BridgeCity Tools Montclair main Warehouse
It is nice when a tool is functional and really does what you need. It is a bonus when it is beautiful too. From the box it come sin to the artistry in the design, this is great. Almost looks like something for a display case more than a tool. That said, I got this when I picked up my new saw, and setting the miter gauge to the blade with a square is the standard, using this, I was able to see if it was out and by how much. Setting the fence perpendicular to the table was the same thing. These old eyes sometimes have a hard time seeing the gap wiht a square, here i could see the angle measurement and get it dead on.
This thing is beautiful. When I first got it I really debated on just displaying it somewhere and not actually using it out of fear of scratching it. I received this for free with a promo for a Harvey tablesaw.
Functions wise, it has alot of different ways to measure/mark that I have never had on a similar tool. Very precise and dead flat. I've only used it for about a month so far but it's definitely built like a tool and not a fragile art piece.
Overall I'm very impressed with it. It's a great tool and, although I've never put stock in how a tool looks, it's by far the prettiest tool in my little shop.
This Gauge looks like a show piece, it's eye catching, and makes you wonder on whether it works as good as it looks, and it does!
Really love the height/depth gauge to help setup those awkward non-standard heights on the blade/router bit or to get a reading on a slot and the transporter to set a proper angle on your miter gauge.
Absolutely my amazing. I would recommend this to everyone
This is the best product I have ever used to find the center of dowels and square objects. I'm just a home woodworker making pens, toys, bowls and other small items. I probably won't use this product to its full potential, but when I do need to use it to find centers on wood for lathe work, it's just the best tool I have ever used.
A well made tool that will give years of enjoyment in use and looks awesome.
