Title: SS Arm 113H
Post by: turboal on August 01, 2013, 04:16:19 PM
Alan, do you have a SS arm for a 113H like the 3 hole Newell arm ? or a longer arm.

sorry, no.  i have a longer arm that is patterned after the penn international II, and plans have been in the works for years now for a penn arm with the same silhouette as the penn power handle series, with 3 holes for the jigmaster, two holes for the 4/0 senator, and 2 holes for the 6/0 senator.  it only needs a "go" and it can get started, but it is a $3000 project......

that's why it has been on hold.

Do you have the CAD drawings for the arms Alan?  If not, I may be able to help.

Hopefully I can get small quantities cut too.

Looks like we're going to different directions with this, now I'm wondering who's going to make those available to us :-\.
Hey, bring them on, the more the merrier ;D

Yup, as far as I'm concerned making them available is a good thing.

i've got a guy that might be able to cut them out of stainless steel using a water jet.  we just have too much going on right now.  i still have to fix the garbage disposal and prep the boat for tomorrow's fishing trip.

If anybody decides to make handles make them about 4" to 4 1/2"long C/L to C/L of the holes so we can get good leverage.

Would something like these unfinished blanks work?

I like them both Lee. Which ever one you make I'm in for a few.    Rudy

Looks like one of those is for a Jigmaster and one a 113H? Both look great but to be honest, Alan's arms are pretty sweet. The coolest thing is the ring that goes over the handle nut on the 113H, I want one of those on every reel I own!

They look good Lee. When are they available?

Soon, I have one of each I can part with as soon as I get them cleaned and polished.  I want to put one of the original cutting on my personal 112HN and 349H.  I have 114H handles drawn and will work on getting ones for the larger senators finished.  I can do Daiwa handles too.
A fancy handle nut retainer has been drawn but I'm overextended and short on funds due to the large order that was finally cut this week.

5.33" long, 4.63" center to center on the longest hole.  I can draw and cut custom ones to any length.   Once I figure out the time I have in them I'll have a price, as of now it looks like $17.00 for low polish, $20.00 for high polish.  It looks like the new owner will cut my parts more often so a guess would be a week after I make the order.
