Title: 501 length frame post
Post by: Sledge on August 04, 2015, 04:46:18 AM
What is the length of 501 frame posts?  I made a few sets of stainless frame posts over the weekend in standard length for Jigmaster, 3/0, 4/0...but I boogered up one post and now don't have enough for a complete set.  So...I'm going to shorten to 501 length.  Thanks in advance for help!

1.622 inches by my calipers. Better get a second reply though, just to be safe.

Penn 501 base 1.63
Newell base 1.63
Tiburon Frame 1.62
501 post 1.625

I would suggest to cut them to 1.63 then trim to fit whichever base you use.
