Quick answers
What is the fastest way to find a gage block stack?
Enter the size in the free gage block calculator at gageblockcalc.com. It lists the fewest-block stacks for your set, inch or metric, with no login.
How do I choose the fewest blocks for a stack?
Work from the last decimal digit: pick a block that clears the right-hand digit, subtract it, and repeat on the remainder. Fewer blocks means fewer wrung joints.
Are the stacks on these pages checked?
Yes. Each stack comes from the same solver as the calculator and is checked by code to add up exactly to the target and to use each block only once.
