I don't build cues. Just want a pin to put in the drill to spin the shaft. I have the 5/16-18, 5/16-14, and 3/8-10. Need the 3/8 radial. The places you mention want a fortune for shipping when it could be put in a padded envelope for a buck or less. :thumbup:

Just ask Bryan Mordt, he's a nice guy and makes his own pins, I believe. Maybe he'll sell a single one!

got a partially mangled pin
the part that counts is good
should be ok for chucking up in a drill
tool
I understand now.
I own 2 cue repair lathes and haven't tried using a drill.
The lathe work great, how does the drill work ?

I have a 3/8" drill mounted in a vise. Rheostat for speed control. For shaft cleaning and new tip shaping, it works great.....
Drill
Sorry I have been out of town for a week in a half.
What I was trying to ask, or at least give some thought is what kind of repairs are you doing with a drill and a joint pin.
I worry that people will assume that using a drill and a joint pin to spin a shaft doesn't come without of risk of damaging the ferrule.
When using these tools to replace a tip
I know when I tried to retip my own cues years ago I sanded into the ferrule.
I also get allot of shafts in for repair because the owner decided he or she was going to install there own tip without using a lathe.
Replacing a ferrule before its time kind of bothers me.
I also understand there are some folks out there that do a good job replacing tips without the use of a lathe.
Being honest I don't know any of these people, because the tip is glued directly to the ferrule and there is zero tolerance.
I have to be carfull using a lathe, and if the lathe is not clean, oiled and stet up properly with plus or minus of .00015 or the average thinkness of a human hair the chance of me running a carbide tip it the ferrule on a retip job IMO is risky.
I have seen allot of these threads in ask the cuemaker section where the owner operator damaged or destroyed there shaft when some of these methods are been used.
There is very strong proof that some people should never own or operate any kind of power equipment.
To the point,
Anyone doing this for the first time really needs to know how easy it is to sand into the ferrule.
And most people try to sand the shaft to even out the surface between the ferrule and shaft to make up for they're screw up of sanding into the ferrule to begin with , thus destroying they're shaft in a couple of years.
