Lee, I have one of Justin's 12 tooth ratchet and it has much less back play than a stock rarchet. A 16 tooth would be great. Whatever, It will be better than stock even with the 10 teeth on the last one. Bob

Could they be set up to alternate or do they have to be set up together?

No Lee and I wouldn't want them that way. I have one set up with your 10 teeth ratchet, back play is very little.
Ratchet diameter has a lot to do with it, we would probably be ok with 12 teeth on the 650, 16 on the 750 and 18 on the 9500.
But if you could get more, that would be great.
You actually sent me one with 20 teeth a while back, I'm dying to try it, too bad I can't, the cut out is too large.
This one was for the 9500, only half of the dog makes contact with the ratchet, but being ss, I'm not worried about it.
18 teeth on the 9500 would definitely work, we need to experiment and see how far we could get.

I'll draw up a 18T one right now. Can the OD be slightly larger?

Alto Mare · March 18, 2013, 12:41:58 AM

We probably could,but I would keep them the same Lee, the 650 dog has a sharper angle due to the OD being smaller.

Keta · March 18, 2013, 12:59:41 AM

I drew one up anyway and will mark it when I send the next batch.

Don't over do it, tolerance is very tight on these reels. I'm still going to recommend that we keep the same OD and concentrate on how many teeth we can squeeze on the ratchet.

Keta · March 18, 2013, 02:43:53 AM

Did both, I made the larg OD .10" larger and was able to make the flats on the teeth a bit bigger. On the stock OD ones I can file off the tab rather than take it off on the belt sander so it still looks good. The new CAD software makes changes easy and was worth every $.

Keta / Sal,
Following the ratchet development with great interest. Great work.

So if I understand, Keta is developing a 10-650 with additional teeth in stainless? Very cool...available?

Any thoughts been given to a 10-550? Would also be very cool.

I'm waiting for the cutter to schedual my job, then there will be a few available, after I know they will work I'll have a production run cut.
