<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>Yes, your missing pin sizes are available through =
Renner..(I
say this because we have them in the UK too.....Renner that =
is!).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The other problem you might have is a mix of metric and imperial =
pin sizes.
This may in part explain the irregular jumps.I was just trying to =
confirm this,
by looking in an engineering materials book which I have now mislaid =
answering
the phone.</DIV>
<DIV>However, if you have one of these, you will also be able to see =
that there
are "prefered" sizes. There is greater production of these guages than =
others,
so they are often cheaper........At this point it then depends what =
makers and
suppliers are using.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>No. 22 is about the smallest size here at 1.2mm or 0.0475 thou. So =
the most
common size when recentering is about 24.5=1.4mm. I use center pins =
rolled under
a file for reaming...one whole size down from the size being fitted. =
Final over
size being determined by "what I reckon the butt will stand without =
being
weakened or broken" and can on occasion be size 26=1.55mm or =
0.061thou.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I seem to recall someone managing to post a table of wire sizes, so =
the
archives might be worth a look.</DIV>
<DIV>Warm regards</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In measuring center pins I have =
discovered that
my pins do not always increase in increments of .001 =
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>They go #18 is .046</FONT><FONT =
face=Arial
size=2>#18.5 is .047 #19 is
.048 19.5 is 49 #20 is =
50 # 20.5 is 51 # 21 =
is
52 #21.5 is 53 # 22 is
54.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I do not have any =
22.5 pins but
presume that they are .055 becuase #23's are .056 and no #23.5 pins =
and wonder
the size for the #24 pins are.059 No #24.5 and then #25 is .063 and no =
#25.5
and the last pin size 26 is .066</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The break in size progression seems =
to
be between size #23.5 and size #24</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Question 1. are my missing center pin =
sizes
available? #22.5, 23.5 and 24.5?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial

2. are these larger sizes used by many? {#22 and larger}</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial =

3.At what size do you =
deide
to rebush rather than repin?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial

4. If larger accurate reamers were available would you think of using =
a larger
pin size?</FONT></DIV>
