    Default #0 vs 0 wide washers?

    Is there any huge difference between the regular and wide washers? I just noticed I ordered the wide washers for peening instead of regular sized ones.

    Order both and toss in a bag of the #0 SS too and have 3 sizes

    The #0W are much larger OD at 3/16
    the #0 is 1/8 OD

    I already ordered the wide ones. Placed and paid. I just want to know if those will do or if I need to order different ones now.

    I don't like how the 0 wide's look as outer washers. Unless you make a huge peen they look really big compared to the peen (at least for me).

    They both will work just fine. Most folks, myself included, generally use the wide washers on the inside, between the blade and the scales, and use the narrower washers for the outside. However, I will often use the wide washers on the outside, especially if I've got wooden scales that look better with a little extra brass showing.

    The #OW's are good for making domed washers too.

    I called them up and they were able to add on the regular size 0 washers to my order! Yay! All is well! They have some great customer service thats for sure!

    I keep 0 brass, 0 stainless, 1 brass and 2 brass on hand. I get bunches at a time but I also get brass rod 75 feet at a time. I pin a lot of razors. Just ordered a few hundred more actually.

    Ordered from where?

    My local hobby shop doesn't have the "wide" washers (what I'd call "fender washers" at a marine-supply store). What's a good source? [Even better, what's a good Canadian source?]

    Thanks --
