Penta Tapers - (Bill Fink)fiveside

To the List,
  Due to the overwhelming number of requests (there were 3 or 4) the
dimensions of two of my best penta tapers follow:
  Rod #1: 7'3'' one piece (no ferrule) for a wt 4: station 5:.079, 10:.101,
15:.118, 20:.133, 25:.146, 30:.160, 35:.172, 40:.185, 45:.197, 50:.209,
55:.222, 60:.235, 65:.248, 70:.261, 75:.274

  Rod #2: 7'6'', 2-piece, size 14 ferrule for a wt 5: station 5:.082,
10:.106, 15:.124, 20:.139, 25:.153, 30:.162, 35:.180, 40:.193, 45:.206,
50:.221, 55:.236, 60:.251, 65:.266, 70:.280, 75:.295, 80:.310

  Note that these dimensions are inner diameters which are the numbers used
to set your planing forms (divide by 2). The dimensions you get when you
mike the rod will be different due to penta geometry. 

  If someone wishes to build rod #1 with a ferrule get back to me off list
and I will run a compatible taper for you. Len Histand's software is useful
for tasks like this.  Bill
