Balls

If the price doesn't sound too bad, you might try: McMaster-Carr

Haggis.

Yummy. Thanks a lot.

In the US most tooling suppliers carry a variety of brass and stainles

steel balls. Bronze can be found but is quite a bit more expensive. The stainless come in a variety of grades including machinable grades. Most of the low cost ones are +/- 0.0002 inch tolerance. Both th brass and stainless cost about US$15 for a package of 25 in 7/1 diameter size. I have seen metric balls also, but they are not commo in the US. I would guess the UK tooling suppliers would have them fo similar prices. For reference go to

Here is one selling the most weird balls in almost any material. Need monocrystal balls? Hollow? Glass? Whatever?

Don't know about the prices.

These folks have bronze balls in their catalogue - I've never dealt with them yet, but planning to!

Thought for a moment you were referring back to the recent thread on songs.

not any help, but:

Bearing Services Ltd (BSL) will either stock or be able to get them for you in a variety of materials incl Phosphor bronze & stainless.

I suspect any bearing supplier will do the same - yellow pages would be my first place to look.

Good luck
