They totally changed things for me when I got mine. Now I'm saving up my money to drive to Indy and steal the bigger sets that Nate has.
Am I Calamity Jane or Annie Oakley??...depends on the day.

$55? I think everyone else picked up the same set for around $40.

























Just kidding. Nice score.

You actually had me going for about .001 seconds, but then I remembered comparing prices. :lol:

Nice! I didn't know how valuable pin gauges were until I got my hands on some at the Briar Lab. Indispensable for touch-ups, and screw-ups.

I'm still struggling to figure out HOW these are used.

I had the same problem clickclick :-) But as far as I know they're chucked in your 3jaw acting as a rod on which you can slide your drilled pipe, as to reface the shank perpendicular to the mortise.

Problem I have is that I work with the metric system, like 95% of the globe, but finding these sets with metric markings for a good price seems impossible... Offcourse the sizes in inch will be just as useable (since there's so many of them with such a small difference), but it's not really practical :-)

Yeah, doesn't matter at all whether they are metric or US. They will work the same for either.

Standardise your sizes and then just order the pin gauges you need. Though personally I don't them at all, for the jobs that require a pin gauge (mostly bamboo work) I just ordered some drill blanks which are ground hardened rod in a good range of sizes.
