[Timothy Aiken]

Daryl,
They all stand on edge. The thick end is 3/16".

A top quality straight edge and a couple of machinist sqaures are once in a lifteme investments. Don't by stuff that's just "good enough for WW" because errors stack. Buy Starrett, Mititoyo or Browne and Sharp. You won't regret it. There are places you can save money (like buying a Bosch sander instead of a Festool) and places you shouldn't. Set up tools are one of the shouldn't. Today, I do not regret the money I spent on quality tools thirty years ago.
