Hahaha!!! I got that same set on an amazon sale, it was $95. I haven't used it yet. I laugh because today I took a pic of it so I remember to look up a vid on how to use it. I seen Josh Topper using that same one so I figured it had to be at least decent quality. I wish I could give you some input.
WOAH there buddy! My exact set came today! I would have never even looked had you not told me you ordered them. This, my friend, is on you!!! YOU are the bad influence this time!!! Here it comes........@Stick-man, sir you are a bad influence.

I was taking a short break and popped open FBM on a whim, saw this ad posted only 12 minutes prior. Then rocketed up the interstate in my truck.
I ended up with all three items in this photo...
1. 18" x 36" finely scraped cast iron surface plate $200
2. Big 60 degree cast iron straight edge $20
3. See that wood box under the straight edge, it's a 24 Inch Cylinder Square it's HUGE
The seller gave it to me for FREE.
From this pallet the seller purchased he kept the big cast iron surface plate, it's a monster 4 x 4 footer. He estimated it weighs 2,000 lbs.
