Hi,

What ways are recommended for truing/fixing stainless steel spools for Penn 
Fishing reels, I have one and a friend has 2 that touch the side plates when 
turning due to some unknown fall or other reason. Backalite or alumiuim 
spools are not available for these reels and even tho the stainless steel 
spools are not favoured or well thought of here, being able to fix the spools 
so that they are free spinning/turning is the only way to make these reels 
usable.

I'd rather not put them in a lathe and trim the few thousands of an inch of 
off the reel spool to fix this.

Ideas please.

Russell
