Surface finish, sphericity (sp) etc.

You may find them cheaper at your local "power transmission shop" that sells hydraulic pumps, hoses, BEARINGS etc. when you factor in S&H. Else buy several 100 to amortize shipping.

My local "PTS" is a bit spendy on 1/4" size ($14?/100) and VERY inexpensive on the smaller sizes. You have to buy a "box" full. A box full of the smaller sizes contain a LOT of balls. IIRC, 3/16" size ($7/175?).
