Metric Roll Pins?

[Dimitri]

So I figured this would fit here best. But in an assortment of metric roll pins what would you guys stock? Especially those of you lucky enough to work on European equipment that uses them.

SAE sets from hardware supply houses tend to all look the same, but there seems to be no one packaging a set between say 3mm and 12mm for a metric equivalent set.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Quick Amazon search I found these, look ok at that price may not go as large as you are wanting.

Yes, kind of small, most of my work is in the 4mm to 8mm range.

Want to stock a half dozen of every size's lengths, but I'll be damned if I can commit to just a handful of lengths each.

I think there is a set at McMaster Carr....but I know well they don't ship to Canada.

Yes we Canadians are terrorists Matt.

I'm jealous that you guys went metric while we chickened out...

 

[Dimitri]

We didn't most here hate using the metric system.

I just deal with a lot of metric equipment.

Is the Metric to English conversion that critical in a roll pin?

 

[Dimitri]

Yes, if you stuff a 1/4" roll pin into a 6mm hole it tends to collapse to the point that it does not want to come out afterwards.
