Bill Stroud used a 5/16-14 acme pin. If you are putting an aftermarket shaft on it you will have to bring it to your cue repair person first to modify it.

Hi folks,

I got an older Joss West Cue with a modified 5/16x14 pin like this one:

http://custombilliardcue.com/shop/sold-cues/joss-west-1990/

That combination seems to be very rare...does anyone knows, if it's possible to switch a normal 5/16x14 Shaft easiely to this modified one?

Many thanks!

I currently have a 5/16-14 ACME THREAD early Joss West . I went with a 5/16-14 shaft to a cue maker. He retapped it to the acme thread. Fits like a glove. CHARLIE D

Both of my JW's with the same logo (JW1988 & JW1990) have 5/16-14 Acme thread.
Actually 3-cues including an older JW with the sideways-w logo, and each of those pins
were slightly different, so until we hear from Bstroud I'm calling it a 5/16-14 modified Acme thread

Hi Andre
Yes it can be modified. The original acme screw is .323x14 acme. I have seen them modified to 5/16x14 acme. (312x14 acme) pretty sure it wasn't modified by Mr. Stroud. I personally would change the insert but you can run a tap thru it.

Hard to get a cuemaker in Germany who has one...

Option
Go to a machine shop and ask them to make you a lazy tap. Which is a steel screw 8.2mmx14 acme with 4 channels. They can measure your screw for the pitch depth. This does work and it will work well for chasing the inserts. Then you'll have it forever.
Hope this helps.

I don't have the technical background and my english isn't very well....the google translation is funny, but not very useful. I try to let it translate by a german cuemaker or technican. Thank you!
