feeler gauges, help

[Cary Chilton]

I am not great in imperial measurements, I grew up on metric...
I want to find a feeler gauge that includes these measurements:
.010", 0.012", 0.016",0.018", 0.031", 0.062"


Does anyone know where online I could order a feeler gauge with all of these measurements? I found one site, but it's gaps went from .010 to .025"

Do you have some metric gauges? Just divide by 25.4 to convert milimetres to inches.

Maybe the gauges you saw range from .010" to .025"

Most sets I have start at about.002" and go up in .002" increments.

if it has a .002, you can add the .002 to the .010 yes I like to cheat! LOL

your local auto parts store should have a set. For the thicker measurements just add the values to get the proper thickness.

He might have a hard time finding imperial measuring sticks where he lives.

Sears. I've got a Craftsman feeler gauge set that I all but guarantee has all of those measurements.

thanks guys... I need these measurements for the FACTORY set up of my G&L Legacy ...if I can't find a Feeler ( or a gapper as my dad calls it) with those thicknesses I can add them manually, so long as the sticks are adjacent of course.

Eastern Industries (http://www.easterngage.com/standard-feeler-gage-sets.asp) is your huckleberry.

The third one down the list (Part Number - FG-35-3) has all the sizes you listed and cost $11.21.
But there is a minimum $35.00 order. Browse the site and find something else you need.

P.S. Stacking blades is the way most of us professionals do it.

Even if they're not adjacent you can often still spin 2 blades out to stack, depending on the shape of what you're trying to measure. And you can almost always take them off the spindle and stack any of the loose blades that way too. (I say almost because i haven't seen every feeler gauge made, but all the ones I've seen come apart easily.)

Here's a tip when you get your set. Feel along the edges - because they are stamped out there can be a raised burr along the edge which will throw your measurements off. I remove the burrs on a fine stone - don't go overboard you don't want to reduce the thickness either.
