8.8 mm dowel pin?
I'm making a snap ring feeder assembly for a line at work. I'm looking at the original
drawing for it and they call out an 8.8 mm dowel hole reamed thru. At first I thought it was just a metric conversion of inch units but 8.8 mm =~ 0.3465 . For chits and grins I measure the end I could get at since the machine was running production and a 8.79 mm minus pin barely slipped in. I can't find a metric reamer in that size nor can I find a 8.8 mm dowel pin. I have no idea why they came up with this odd size. 8mm, 10mm, .375 whatever would fit and work in this application. Informed comments please. Wes -- I was a skeptic before I became a cynic. |
