The difference in washers is US vs SAE class.
If you buy US class many times these washers will fit the next size up. Most farm stores and chain stores only sell US clase.
SAE class are smaller in OD than US but fit the bolt size.
Also in SAE you can buy different thickness washers.
We do not use US washers for anything unless
building wood crates or skids.
I can only wish for washer selection like you have down there, even our SAE washers seem to be way oversized, I really don't get it. I suppose I could try to order washers but it's one of those items you don't think about much until you go to use them.
A flat washer isn't rocket science, they stamp out a billion of them a day, why not build the actual right size die? |
Drill bit to hole size question....
