Is there a conversion chart that gives approximate measurements for Torch Tip cleaners ? What are the Lehigh liners when they are new ?
? = .028
? = .030
? = .035
etc.
Thanks

Yule, I've never seen a chart. I've always threatened to use my digital calipers to measure then color code the important ones, but never got around to it. I did find that two of my cleaners are the same size, don't know if that's by design or not.
I always start with the smallest one that will fit then measure it to make sure I've not eroded too much.

Yule, I think you are getting involved enough that a pin gauge set from SHARS would be greatly appreciated. They are just over $10 if memory serves me correct.

If you have a new liner then find the smallest one that will fit...if the next size starts to fit then you know you have limited shots left.....#12 and #10 cleaners are whats working for me.... |

All good suggestions.............OR, get your wife's pin cushion and your micrometer or caliper and play around measuring them and see what does and does not fit!

Better yet, get a bushing plug and forget about it......

Mine is a .011"-.060" set in .001 increments. Sorry I thought it was cheaper than that via eBay. Can't find the shars on there now
