Thanks AJB....get all sizes or just certain ones between 950 and 970 ? Or do they jump from50 to 70 >
I would just get from 0.0950 to 0.0975. And 2 0.0900.
I'm still slowly getting them myself. I don't have the half sizes yet but the 0.09000 have been amazing for checking drills and I've only really used the others to sort through wheels to try and match up bore size.
I'm really still getting started myself. Only 2 recent league races under my belt.

Getting them there and back in 1 piece is the first step.
ajb, I've never used these things. Why 2 0900's for drill instead of just one ? I simply don't know...Thanks RRR
I also use aircraft "long" .087 drill bites to verify my drill. I don't have the blocks to do the 1,2,3 check, so I use the back of the SBE drill jig. I guess it's straight.
Jup, I've heard of the 1,2,3 but don't know what it means. is there a thread or a link from the www ?
There is a video link in the pinned post of the "Premium Content" thread of this forum.
I like 0.089 pins for checking the drill. I feel they keep the axle hole a bit tighter. I figure that I can always open them up a bit if needed.
Here are the 1-2-3 blocks in use .....
