Is it possible that one or more of you could get our Chinese friends/manufacturers to produce a set of slip gauges for us, the 'home machinist'? These are so useful in many situations other than checking a keyway but the price is out of reach for most of us and far to accurate to be sensible in the home workshop. They do not need to be ground and lapped to 1/100,000", They do not need to stick together. We only need them accurate to a tenth, hardened and polished. This would, I am sure enable a set to be produced for something in the range of £25. Your comments please, after all if you don't ask you don't get. cheers Ray
