I always appreciate your input.It's a pretty simple job, but if you take it to someone that doesn't know what they're doing, it can go wrong.
Try to locate an actual cue maker, not a repair person with a cheesy lathe.
I've got a break cue with that joint screw, it doesn't fit. So 99 percent its pechauer.It's akways harder to tell the thread on an insert in a picture compared to a picture of a joint screw. If it's yhe same shaft as in your other thread then Pechauer quick release 5/16x14 is a good guess
If it was fitted for an import like AA cues, they have a knock off to Pechauer's quick release, only it's a netric M8x1.25.
Any thread can be changed by an experienced mechanic.
LOLI always appreciate your input.
Cheesy lathes?
Do you have a list?
Certainly possible to change it, but no way you fill a brass insert with something and then drill/tap that for something smaller. That would just be a really ugly end result.
Have someone competent remove the insert, core it if necessary, and put in whatever new joint you want. Not rocket science, you should have no problem finding someone to do this for you.
Thank you, that's what I was looking for could it be filled or plugged and retapped. Not opposed to brass but didn't know what the options were was all.While it may work somewhat, you will likely wipe out a lot of the thread engagement and end up with a pretty sketchy fit. You don't have to have a brass insert for 3/8-10. Best solution would be to bore the shaft, plug it, and then drill/tap the 3/8-10. Relatively simple job for most any cuemaker or repair guy, assuming the shaft is not warped, IMHO.
It doesn't matter Mike, the best advice you ever gave was to make what you have work for youI always appreciate your input.
