Have a couple that I purchased for special projects, but have wanted them a few times but can't see spending on a big set for the few times I have needed them.
I agree, in almost 50 years I've seen and used them a couple of times in inspection departments but never in a workshop. At work with very few exceptions all close tolerance holes were standard sizes so dowels, reamers and good design covered that.They weren't available (to me, at least) during my apprenticeship, I never encountered them or a need for them. at 84, I don't see a need approaching.
Never thought of that.Same here. Center-to-Center is one of the most common uses in my case. Even considering that the 2 pins used will be 0.001" different (I don't have duplicate gage pin sets): still works perfectly fine for what I do.
