Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Some assembly required

This ought to be interesting.  I may consider this if I can do it on a milling machine.

The large tube is almost perfect size for 4/0, little smaller ID than Tiburon frame but it eats up the gap between frame spool-

That smaller tubing needs mucho material run off from the ID, OD almost big enough for me to try to delete the JIgmaster's rings from the equation and try to mate the plates directly to the frame.

Can't wait for the art work.

Remember, that tubing has crazy stress in it from the extruding process.
Don't count on concentricity, either.
When you cut only the OD or ID it's going to warp/oblong.
You're gonna need to skin BOTH ID and OD, and come back with finish cuts to make the diameters round.
PM me if you have any questions!

Looking forward to seeing this pan out.
Good luck Joel.

You need some more raw materials to get going.     Dominick

Interesting for sure. I look forward to your creation & good luck !

Looks like History in the making!

really old and dead thread, but this project ever happened to be part of a 113h?

sounds like machinists talk... have you done this before?
