Where to get 1/16 stainless washers?
For some reason I can't seem to find stainless washers for 1/16 rod. Preferably in 316 stainless.
I did find a shop online, but they had a 75$ minimum order size.
1/8 is easy enough to find, but 1/16 far less so.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

Thx. Out of curiosity: how would I know that the inner diameter is 1/16? The listing doesn't specify it.

BA 10 looks to be 0.067" (1.7018mm) inside so slightly more than the 1/16" (1.5875mm)

So far I've seen

- # numbers
- names
- and now this
At least the germans got this right by standardizing to mm. An M3 bolt is 3 mm wide and truned by an M3 wrench, and will fit an M3 screw with M3 washers which can also be used on M3 stainless, brass, or whatever rod stock which fits holes made by an M3 drill bit.
Anyway, thanks for the conversion chart.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

What you are wishing for was used long ago and abandoned.

Much like the metric system. 5/8" wrench fits nut for 5/8" diameter bolt. Unless you get to mid 1900's MG's which used whitworth heads on metric threads!The easy road is rarely rewarding.
