Denim comes in different makes, of course, apparently just like Ticking. Denim is generally listed by weight, ie: 6 pound, 8, 10, 12, etc. Not every 'weight' comes out with the same thickness. When it comes to using thin fabric, as in .107" or thinner, pocket drill is much better due to the thread count. The heavier Denims, as in 8 pound through 12 pound are best suited for balls .010" to .010" under bore size. I use some 8 and 10 as it more closely hits in the .019 thorugh .022" ranges of thickenss I use most often. I am using 8 pound from one bolt as well as 10 from another and both measure .020" - go figure. I'm using a michrometer to measure as I was getting too much variance in calipers. When I tighten the mic. I run the ratchet - briiiiiiiit- probably 6 to 10 clicks. Some mics are different than others. Taylor's mic, measures cloth as .002" thicker than mine does.
