Taper Pins - EdK - 05-09-2017
Anybody know where I can get small quantities of taper pins? I only need two and can't seem to find anywhere that sells them in small quantities. I need #2 taper pins, 1.25" long.

I guess depends what you mean by small quantity. McMaster Carr seems to sell them in packs of 10 and reasonable cost.

That's the first place I looked. It's reasonable if you need 10 but I only need two so that makes it unreasonable. $9.47 for 10 makes my cost $4.74 plus shipping a piece for the two I need. I may as well get 25 of the steel ones for $7.46 lowering my cost. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion though.
Maybe I'll check a local hardware store and see if they might have them.

If not, here's a bit cheaper: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Taper-0-193-Large-End-x-1-1-4-Steel-Dowel-Pin-25-pcs-GREAT-DEAL-FOR-YOU-/152202648252?hash=item236ffc1abc:g:0dYAAOSwdzVXrTWN
It's still 25 but they're only $6.99 + 3.29 shipping from Wisconsin.

That's one of the problems of living in small town or rural US. Had similar issue when I was living in Kearney NE all the hardware stores did not know one pin from another and kept trying to sell me roll pins. Fortunately there is a machine tool re-builder in town who was nice enough to give me the pin(s) I needed.
Break down & buy the package then keep in a safe place. Ya know the one you cannot find until after you order more.
The other option is to make a couple of pins.

That's where I was going to try. There's an Ace hardware store close to the route I take to work.

Well this is somewhat embarrassing. I could have sworn I had already purchased the taper pins and the reamer from McMaster. I checked my order history on their web site and neither showed up as being purchased. This evening I still had that vague feeling I had purchased those so I went to the shop to look in the project box and there they are.
I'm sure glad I hadn't ordered more of them, especially the reamer which is quite spendy.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Stuff like that NEVER happens to me. ;)
