Title: 2.2mm Pin punch?
Post by: Santos on March 20, 2015, 03:08:22 PM: So i recently got a straight/pin punch set and am loving the ease that i can pop out 2.5mm pins out of wengers and 91mm vics rather than slaving away with improvised nails etc.
The set has a 1.5 and 2.5mm so i was thinking in inveting in a 2mm for backsprings and 84mm vic

Just wodering if anyone has stumbled upon something closer t 2.2 mm, perharps in imperial measurement (refered to creatively by USA as 'standard')

5/64" = 1.98mm
3/32" = 2.38mm

Although, you might be able to sand down a 3/32" punch?

Would need regular dips in water to keep cool

#43 (0.085") ~2.159mm
#44 (0.088") ~2.235mm
