Tru pitch gauge, the cheap one
« on: March 23, 2016, 07:33:07 PM »
Is the tru pitch gauge/span ruler that's under $30 good enough for home use?

I have the $30 set and the more expensive jonell pitch gauges.... I was not as impressed with the jonell as I expected. Yes they are very easy to use but they also have a lot of play in them, more so then expected.

The down side to the cheaper set is you will have problems fitting the tabs in the ball on older drill bits, or drill bits that have been resharpened. It takes a little more work to do with the cheaper one in the conditions mentioned above. I actually trust the cheaper set more.

I can not say I think the jonell are more accurate.

It's just to compare ball to ball and any future ball I purchase.

Finding a tab that fits tightly, I'm assuming, may not be the exact size tab the pilot hole was drilled?

No. Do you have that information available? Google didn't have much luck, only sellers of the product not maintenance or manufacturer.

thank you

Back in 2013, I put an order in to Jayhawk while in Kansas taking the IBPSIA class for the Jayhawk Precision Digital Pitch Gauge


But after a couple of weeks, they still couldn't deliver, so I had to order the Jonell from Innovative.



I tried to get the "best" tools, but they weren't available.

Jaybird-
The $30 set is more than good enough for the little bit you will be doing.

I agree. I'm just going ball to ball and for future balls to be purchased.
