That reel is not compatible with an SB Model 45 nor any other model as far as I know.

However, there may be light at the end of the tunnel, I have sent you a PM; (just have a look for a flashing envelope on the top toolbar next to "My Stuff")

Please let us know how you get on. wink

cheers2

It looks like it has plenty of meat on it, but yes the blades edge looks pretty wavy. I thought they straightened the edge before they turn the reel up the reel on the lathe. I recently had my reel sharpened on my 430, and it had less than 2mm of meat left on the reel. The machinist said thats fine. smile
