Your standards aren't just unrealistic they are impossible. Every manufactured product has tolerances and the op's are well within what a mass produced object will have. Now, knowing you're the same guy that sweats micro-micro-micro weight differences in a shaft this doesn't surprise me. I really feel sorry for any contractors you had do work for you.
Well, my cue makers never griped and became really close pals and maybe I’m closer to being right whereas you’re closer to being wrong. The representations extended by some CF builders, which again I know little about the actual manufacture process unlike wood shafts, that another Azer posted suggests something very differently than your beliefs. If the manufacturer claims tolerances of X but the CF shaft you get exceeds what the manufacturer represents, that would seem to fall under the guise of a warranty issue.
When the manufacturer says the CF shafts are built not to vary in taper but the shaft does, the manufacturer has an obligation to repair or replace the shaft to the tolerances they stated in writing. If that isn’t a defect under the manufacturer warranty, then what is it other than an oops? All you are doing is making the manufacturer back up what they promised and failed to deliver. Let’s see how others feel because all the shaft CF shaft owner would be doing is insisting the shaft builder fulfill what they stated their product would be dimensionally. I think I’m right but you don’t.
Just like Kielwood, maybe you have a bit more to learn and maybe shouldn’t be so quick to judge because the CF shaft being discussed was not built to the manufacturers written specifications how their shafts are built within strict tolerances that the manufacturer failed to do with the shaft in question. That falls within warranty or at least IMO.
