I don't remember the dimensions but they are an odd ball buttress thread.
Have you made drag stars before??

I was unable to find the right taps. I have drawings but haven't cut any.
Ahh I see. I found these on ebay but they only make them for 113h I wanted to put on my my 6/0 and 9/0

I would stay away from aluminum stars. They will strip and fail. Bob
I'm glad you couldn't find any ;D.
They will strip on the 4/0 as well and probably on the jigmaster.... if you add more drag numbers.
Mine stripped, but they weren't the same exact ones. I do not like aluminum stars, no matter how nice they look.
We'll that just saved me $18 lol. Thanks for the warning guys. I guess good old penn stars it is
I would like mine out of Titanium. ;D

I would like Stainless Steel to match the handles.
I will try to locate the taps in the future, I want larger OD SS stars for my reels.
the fine thread on the jigmaster is .406 x 36 buttress thread, if any help, got that info from penn awhile ago.
poor hoyt got the very first piece from a new order of fine thread jigmaster gear sleeves. they were cut too large. the guy that owns the machine shop had one of his temporary (now ex-) employees doing the work. they cannot be re-threaded, so they will either have to be discarded or new stars will have to be cut. he is checking on the cost of new stars. if it is cost effective to make new stars (as opposed to just throwing the bad gear sleeves away) then you may see a new run of stainless steel stars out very soon.

Do you envisage any "thread galling" issues when using stainless steel screwed parts together?
Will a molybdenum or graphite based lubricant be required?

Lee, do you have any drawings for this? I'm really interested in some over-sized outer diameter stainless steel stars that will match up with AlanT's SS sleeves.
Yes I drew them up before looking for the tap, here's one of them. If anyone wants the drawing I can e-mail it in .dxf format.
