List Readers: Does anyone know the pilot hole sizes for center pins and bridge pins for a good press fit? There was a post stating that a .002" press fit for these pins was their target. I checked the the list of drill sizes in the MSC Industrial Supply Co. catalog. The bridge pins were easy, but not the center pins. I'm looking for a set of drills and/or reamers to size the press fit hole for center pins. What wire gage system is used for these pins? What is your practice for sizing? Is there a set of reamers other than the felt reamers for this job? Is .002" too much? Paul Chick
