Query - Anyone know the width of Harbor Freight English Wheel Dies?

[Shiseiji]

Time, travel distance, shipping costs, etc. always being in the Good|Quick|Cheep balance, these dies caught my attention for reworking into belt sander guide wheels. Vs. buying a set for $100 USD or the cost of raw stock.

Width is the primary issue, must be =>2-1/8" / ~ 54mm and for the item in question https://www.harborfreight.com/englis...f-6-68412.html the width isn't given and a Google search wasn't enlightening.

Anyone have a set to measure?

TIA

Not to be rude but why not call a HF store & ask?

And to add to flylo's response, if your going to be fussy, why would you buy from HF, build your own. Then you'll know they will fit.

I have a set of those,they are heat treated and the bearings are kinda crunchy.I wouldn't use them for making belt sander wheels.

Thanks much.
