Pin gauge set

Post by bandkbrooks »

Can anyone recommend a good set that won't break the bank?

I got my pin gages off eBay.

For the .061-.250: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SHARS-190-PCS-M ... 51a8fff742

And I use the .251-500 as well, which you can get here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SHARS-250-PCS-0 ... 461af0493d

I got my larger set used and replaced a few missing pieces. I really think they're well worth the investment. There are so many things you can use them for once you've got them.

Also I found JTS Machinery to be reasonable and helpful.

Mine are MHS and I think I bought them through Enco but they were about the same price as the Shars that Jeremiah posted. They are great for what we use them for. I am saving my money so I can be like Nate and have sets all the way to 1"
Am I Calamity Jane or Annie Oakley??...depends on the day.
