I've got a B-rated set of gage blocks I bought from Shars a while
back. Not great, but good enough for most of what I need them for.
Sadly somewhere along the way my .050 went missing. Its kind of
important for a whole range of measurements, but its gone. I'm sure
its in my shop somewhere... unless it got swept up and thrown away
... I don't want to have to buy a-whole-nuther set for one lousy
gage block. Does anybody sell one off pick and choose fill in
parts?


I filled out an incomplete set from an auction with individual
Mitutoyo blocks from MSC.

You don't think that a Mitutoyo will shrivel up and die wimpering in the
corner surrounded by all those cheap gage blocks?

Interesting that a Mitutoyo is the cheapest one they list in the size I
am missing. Not cheap by any means, but... I couldn't believe SPI cost
more.
