Hi,
New to rod building and purchased a number of blanks with no identification markings. They are supposedly Kilwell brand. I have contacted Kilwell and their response is to ship blanks to them to identify. I am in Melbourne Australia and Kilwell are in New Zealand so shipping is too costly. Is there any method of rating each blank? Any information would be appreciated. Re: Rating a blank

G'Day Glenn You might try Wilson I think they now have the Kilwell blank branded with their name .If that doesn't work have a look at "The Rodworks" site .There is a link on the left of this page Regards Baz Bundeena NSW Australia Re: Rating a blank

Are you looking for a name or for what use the blank is best suited? Re: Rating a blank

Baz, Phil and John
I have tried the Wilson site but I could not find blanks listed. My problem is that there is no markings on any of my blanks, so nothing to compare to. I think I will have to follow John's suggestion and muddle my way through the Common Cents information. Thanks Re: Rating a blank

The CCS will provide you with relative measurements of the blanks, but not any sort of factory identification or usage.
