Arbor spacers.
John Stevenson:
I found the Boneham link but that page wouldn't load for me so I didn't post it.
John make sure you are sitting down before you ring them, have a brandy to hand and when you have got your breath back post your result here :coffee:

Everyone who has helped, many thanks.
I have had only one reply from the US and that was asking for everything, right down to the colour of my thong, and still not quoting prices. So they have been kicked into touch
So I called Boneham today, and they do them in a full range of thicknesses, 0.001" and up, for 1" bore with keyway, for 22 pence each (plus vat & postage). So I am very happy with that price, and have ordered 90 off, of varying thicknesses, which will allow me to make up whatever sawpack sizes I need.
Thanks again for your efforts.

Bogs,
Glad you found them, now are we going to find out what the saw packs are for? :poke: Or have I missed something?

No secret Nick,
The saw packs are for making finning on model engines. For round cylinder fins, you cut them on the lathe with a grooving tool, but for finning on straight or irregular shapes, you use a slitting saw.
So If I need to cut say 6 fins down the side of a crankcase, I would use 7 slittings saws to cut the grooves, and the spacers between are set up to whatever width you want the fins. It saves having to do them one at a time, and you also get much more consistent results.
The spacers can be used anywhere you require accurate spacing between cutters. Just an easy way to speed up production of usually many identical items.
