Since the shaft is a composite wouldn't the insert most likely be glued/epoxied in place? Kinda doubt drilling would be advised.Has anyone successfully plugged and redrilled a Revo shaft? Is it like a NORMAL shaft inside joint end?
I realize it will void the warranty. I need a 3/8x11....
I've understood it to work just as you describe!Im not sure what thread pattern it is currently but if it doesn't have an insert I would just run the 3/8 11 tap in it. I kept a shaft that I still play with after I sold the cue that had a 3/8 10 pattern and tapped it with the 11 without plugging and now the shaft fits both. I did that almost 10 years ago and it still fits nice and snug. I know that might not be the most recommended solution but I thought I would give it a try and if it didn't work I would plug it and retap it.
have a extension made 2.5 inches do 3/8-11 with a radial pin or it would be easier to have the cue pin changes to a radial. unless its a southwest or something else worth a lot of money.
This was Seybert's "exact" reply:
Hello, they are sold as Radial or Uniloc right now and until they come out with different joints there is nothing we can do. thanks
I was going to get the Radial version. Can that still be tapped out to a 3/8x11?
No ofcourse not. Radial has a .312" minor, while 3/8-11 has a .308" minor.
Besides the threads are very different.
Can a Revo shaft be plugged? Sure, but you void the warranty and I think most cuemakers would only atempt a plug and tap operation if the customer took full responsibility.
I think it can be done...
but then again.. I just watched Deep Water Horizon. Anything can be drilled. Just ask BP Oil.
