Clamping kits and their accessories, including 1-2-3 blocks, are the "Erector Sets" of work holding. Use the various pieces of the clamping kit as you see fit to hold work pieces to the mini mill's table.

In many cases, you need to lift the work piece off the table, either because the mill spindle won't reach it or because of a projection on the bottom of the work piece. 1-2-3 blocks are precision ground to be flat and parallel. Use them as spacers to lift the work piece. You can also use them as an angle plate by bolting a work piece to the side of the 1-2-3 block and then clamping the 1-2-3 block to the mill table.
