Thin gauge plate

[John HaineParticipant @johnhaine32865]

Does anyone know of a UK supplier of gauge plate in sizes less than 1mm please? Ideally I need 0.7mm. Thanks.

is 1/32" close enough? from Coventry Grinders they also do specials to order

Hello John,

It may not be to exact gauge size but an old hardpoint saw blade with the teeth sheared off might make a cheap alternative source of material

I made a large thrust bearing for the elevating screw on my Dore-Westbury mill using washers either side of a ring of 1/4 inch ball bearings held captive in a housing which gave first rate service with barely a mark on them for well over 10 years.

Regards

Brian

That's an idea Brian, I'll see what thickness I have. Thanks.
