Where to order Class X pin gages and get them quickly?

Finegrain · Apr 22, 2021

Hello,

I used to be able to order Class X pin gages from MSC and get them next day if in stock, or at least direct-shipped from Vermont. Apparently they made some "improvements" to their website and I can no longer type in the pin size I want. I have to pick from a selector, but the selector is FUBAR and stops at like .03".

I need a new source.

Thanks, and regards.

Find a Deltronic distributor near you. Deltronic will drop ship directly to you.

I'm giving them a try. The website tells me 1-2 weeks

. There is a textbox labeled "Need it sooner?" so I typed in, "Yes please.". I don't know what effect that has.

Regards.

You can try Meyer Gage?

I have a metrology sales company near me that I'd go through in an emergency. Also, Boston Centerless (also near me) had some people that used to work at Van Keuren.

Call mcmaster on the phone
They are a pretty amazing company, they can get you stuff not in their catalog, or that used to be once

Thanks guys. I'm giving McMaster-Carr a shot with today's order.

MSC actually did have quite a few Class X's in stock, and cheap compared to McMaster-Carr. I'm sure they still do have the stock, but their website is newly bunged-up enough that it's not possible (or I couldn't figure it out) to order, say, a .1880" Class X Minus.

Regards.

I hate MSC's website. I almost exclusively order things I have ordered before, because their website is so illogical. I used to buy a ton from them

I needed a couple of Mitutoyo gage blocks to fill out a set. Mitutoyo sent me to MSC. MSC's web site sucks and it was impossible to order what I wanted that way so no dice. Mitutoyo said to get with one of MSC's brick and mortar stores. Got with the one in Omaha which was closest to me and had my set filled out in no time. The prices were better than quoted too.

I use MSC almost every day. I think the website is the easiest one I have dealt with yet.

I searched plug gage, clicked class X -. Then typed in .188 into the search bar and wham https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/88818802

There you go. 15 bucks and in stock, can have tomorrow.

Took me 30 seconds to do.

I suspect the people that have problems with MSC website might be something with their ISP?

My only complaint with the website is it does not always show the correct picture with the item description.

I think that is a common practice with MSC.

I just went to MSC's website and typed in ".188 Class X gage pin" and it popped right up. $15.09 and in stock.

I purchase dumb shit like this all the time and as long as it is in Harrisburg PA, it will get to me by 2-3pm next day ground for $12.79

Sucks when shipping is more than the 3 drills I need. But they do show right up when I need them.

@Finegrain - I got a couple of deltronic "tenths around a core size" sets from a vendor call judgetool.com. It was reasonably quick, but not like overnight from mcmaster..
