Exactly right. Kind of a poor man's burnishing tool. Here's a guy
on Ebay that sells gage balls (cheap):

Nice find! But where are his metric-sized gage balls?


Don't know, but he must have bought a dump truck full of "inch" sized
ones at an auction or something. He's been selling them on ebay for
some time now.


Cheaper, and metric sizes as well, from McMaster-Carr.

True, but not the same grade/material.


See McMaster page 3394, exactly the same grade and material - Grade 25,
52100 steel. For example 100 1/4" balls from McM are $3.97 (p/n
9528K15), on ebay $9.99 (Item number: 4578478224).
