Post by: mike155 on September 21, 2014, 05:13:33 PM
Got a jigmaster with stainless fine thread gear sleeve
The star striped out. I have a corse thread
Star. Can I re tap the corse thread one to fit
And do y'all know the thread pattern for
The fine thread gear sleeve

Thanks Michael

Hi Michael --

I have never tried that -- but I kind of think that when your done, there may be a little too much slop or even a possibility of the star failing at the wrong time.

Just because when rethreading from coarse to fine, on a thin piece like this -- there may not be enough metal for a good thread job -- but it may work well -- nothing to lose by trying -- and let us all know how it comes out.

Interesting to see if it works.

Someone like Sal or Alan may have better information than me.

Good luck,

Fred

My star is not striped like as bad as i thought.It will still screw on to my brass sleeve fine.As you can see in the pic the threads of the stainlees sleeve are bad.They are very rough and not deep enough.

as you can see the threads on the brass sleave look fine.

I can scew the star on it fairly easy.

heres the star.This was a new  stainless sleeve that i installed i noticed when i first put it on that the threads were not that smooth but thought it would be fine.My best guess is that they werenot cut deep enough.Yall's thoughts?

Mike

Where did you buy the Bridge Sleeve? I don't want to make the same mistake. All of the Penn Bridge Sleeves that I have installed have been bought from AT & were perfect.

I need to talk to the person I got it from
Before we start naming names. I am not
Sure of his sorce. I think it is just a  quailty control
Issue one that slipped through the cracks
By mistake.

wow!!!!!!!!  that is definitely one of my gear sleeves!!!!!! before i send them out, i look at each one.  the damage to this is so obvious that there is no way it could have left the house looking like that.  if it came to you like this, the damage had to happen AFTER it left here.  i'm not even sure that a coarse thread gear sleeve could do that amount of damage.  it looks almost like someone had a coarse thread stainless steel star and tried to force it onto this fine thread stainless steel gear sleeve.  a brass star would have been soft enough that the stainless steel threads should have survived.  i am still sending you a 10-505 fine thread star.

That's exactly what I thought when I first saw it. That sleeve was not made as shown, each thread is cut in the middle, something had to do it.  I also believe it had to be a fine threat stainless star, couldn't be anything else :-\.

I got the gear sleeve from OCD reel service. Which is Mr. Kieth he is handi2
Here on the site. I noticed when I got the sleeve the threads were kind
Of rough but not like they are now. I was checking the drag on it Friday
Night and was not getting but 6 # of drag with new carbontex drags 3+1 set
I wanted to see what my max drag was because I had one of Bryan's kit
To install in it and wanted to compare numbers. I tighten the drag down
Got 6 # and that was all. Tried to lock it down and that's when it striped out.
This gear we've had been in there 2 weeks been fished once in fresh water
I am a mechanic and welder by trade. It looks to me like the threads were
To shallow and they were brittle. Not blaming anybody I think it was just
Bad luck on my part.

The star n the pic is the original one that came off the brass gear sleeve
That came in the reel. It is the one I used on the stainless sleeve. It is a 10-505
It will scew on to the brass sleeve fine right now. It Wobbles on the other
Sleeve because the threads are gone. Not trying to blame or argue with
Anybody. Just want to determine what happend and I got to get a new sleeve
Ordered. Diameter of the threads and sleeve could have been alittle small not sure
I agree that the brass should have went before the stainless turned loose
But u see the pics. Not sure what happened.

Yup,

The only thing that would cause that issue is a flaw in manufacturing --

Or more likely, at some time, maybe before in your possession -- a coarse thread SS star was forced onto the sleeve, by accident.

Like Alan said, the wrong stock chrome over brass star would not even affect the finer threads on the SS sleeve.  It would just distort the brass star threads, since they are so much softer.

Just my observation...

Best,

Fred

No Mike, no one is arguing, that's not what we do here. We just like to get to the bottom of it and try to find out what happened...as we do with everything else. You will be all set one way or another.
