Didn't someone say that in between sizes can be had for center pins? Where? That would be very helpful. You will find that most often you are using only 20.5 and 21 center pins.

I had an instructor at UWO who always miked his. He said that he found that pins can vary in size. I miked my broaches too and gaging by the way my broaches feel sliding through the mike jaws (with a very slight resistence, the Schaff #21 pins mike at .0525! Are broaches .0005" larger than center pins? Sure seems that way. Thanks in advance, Julia Gottshall Reading, PA Need a job?
