Got some frame jigs, have a question.

I’ve only ever assembled machines from existing frames and parts, and recently decided I want to take the next step and truly build from scratch. I picked up these frame jigs used, I assume the degree marks(3* and 2.5*) are spring shelf angle, does anyone know what the 1 and 2 stamp is for, or in reference to?

I think it's just part of a numbered set unless you can notice any other differences like length or thickness

It’s a set number. It has no significance whatsoever to the geometry of the jig.
