269675 | "red735i@v..." <red735il@g...> | 2020‑01‑15 | Need a favor... Veritas Brass Dogs |
I need to know the specific diameter of the Veritas ( Lee Valley) brass dogs. I asked LV, and was told .750. I do not believe a .750 piece of brass will fit n a .750 hole in wood what with raw hole walls, rouoghness, and humidity, etc…. And I remembered the diameter being .740, which sounds right to me….. Could someone please take one out and measure it for me? I am not at home to measure for myself…. Thanks Frank Filippone BMWRed735i@g... |

O.738" but that was measured with my thicknesser calipers that do not read Starrett on the side. On Tue, Jan 14, 2020, 9:26 PM red735i@v... |

Thanks Paul…. I remembered .740 was the LV spec, but their latest catalog incarnation leaves this ( and a lot of other stuff) out…..

I have 4. They all mic’ed at .741. They can be pretty snug in a 3/4 hole depending on humidity. Mine are about 10 years old so thing may have changed. Cheers, Kevin Sent from my iPad |

.725 is the diameter and the hole is .750. I just measured mine for you. Nick |

GG’s: We now have, what, four different diameters for Veritas brass dogs? Presumably, they are different production runs. It’s time for a Type Study! If I’m doing the calculation correctly, 19mm brass rod would be 0.748...perhaps some of them are made from rod made to a metric nominal diameter. John Ruth |

I sense a basis for acquiring a more precise set of calipers. Might already have one in the drawer ... now what drawer was that again? |

I just remeasured mine with a good dial caliper and I come up with .738. My first measurement was with a regular vernier caliper and I guess it was a poor read, my vision not what it used to be. I wonder why? Nick |

I just measured mine again with a good dial caliper and came up with .738. The other time I used a vernier caliper and I guess I didn't read it right. Eyes aren't what they used to be, I wonder why? Mine are only about 2 years old so fairly recent made. They fit a 3/4' hole real nice. Nick |

Boy - they are coming in at different dimensions. Mine are .735 and .740, and the 2 aluminum “pups” are .730 and .725 |

Just measured mine with my non-professional grade dial caliper: .745. I would guess they are at least 15 years old, I bought them second hand. Dave |

I just got "official" word from Lee Valley..... The dogs are speced at 0.740 +/- .002 inches. I guess my memory is not so bad after all..... Frank Filippone BMWRed735i@g... |
