Ball bearing. You do have a box of assorted bearings somewhere, don't
you? G

Therein lies the problem - my metalworking shop has great variety of many things, but no 1/8" ball bearings

I have some bearings, that I could crack open, but I dont know the size of BBs in there ... No BB gun either

I guess I'd have to spring for 500 pack, but what am I going to do with the 499 remaining BBs ? Such a waste

fastener drawers at the hardware store.

Go to the bike shop. They may give you one or, at the worst, make you buy a
10 pack.

I like the bike shop idea, but Hitachi is more likely to have used a 3mm ball.
Measure carefully, if there's any more of 'em in the chuck for reference.

If you are close to a MSC store, you can get 500 carbon steel for about $2.25 delivered to your store. Or 100 chrome steel for about the same price. My catalog is a few years old so the prices are approx.

Or you could go to walmart and get genuine BB's.

That is some large BB. 1.125" I'd think one could buy them in much
smaller sets - due to size - No one wants a bag of 100 of those! Much
less 500.

I'd check - likely a small charge for a smaller lot.

Martin - check mscdirect.com as well.

oops - 1 ea of .125" - I bet a bag of 100 myself. Depends on the alloy
and the size of the bag. What type of stainless.....

The thread is entitled " Qty 1 .125 BB " and he lost the original ball. I think he wants a ball the same size as the original, but I am not sure if he needs a BB or a .125 ball or some other size. My impression is he wants to get something about BB size and see if it works. As someone said Hitachi probably used a metric sized ball.

MY impression is that he abbreviated "Ball Bearing", and wants a 0.125"
ball. That, by the way, is the origin of the term "BB shot". SOMEbody
had some 0.177 balls around, and decided to make it a standard for air
guns.

I've been somewhat bothered by the wording of these. To me
(starting in life as a kid) the term "BB" (all upper case) stood for a
copper coated roughly spherical steel projectile. Roughly, because it
would have a flat spot on one side, presumably from some kind of
automated forming process. (And yes, these were 0.177" diameter, not
the desired 0.125".)

I'm presuming that you are using it to stand for "Ball Bearing"
(the individual balls, not the assembled rolling ball device.) I would
probably have used the spelled out term "bearing ball" rather than "BB".

Hopefully, the eBay seller is selling bearing balls, not the
projectiles. :-)

Enjoy,

BB originally referred to a size of lead shot, .180" inch in diameter.
These were used in early BB guns, but as repeating BB guns came on the
market, the lead was found to be too soft for reliable feeding, so a
..177" steel BB was adopted.

I'm with Don. Have BB guns in both pistol and rifle. Shoots .117 pellets.

The BB was a size of the ball sizes in shotgun shot size. If you go
to the local supplier of shot guns / shells - or web - you will see
sizes 0000 000 00 0 etc - aught double-aught (favorite of police
blasting shotguns) and naturally the series keeps on going in both
directions. BB is one of the series - see a good gun bible and it has
a shot size sheet.
