(Ps I tried to PM Mike directly but he has PM's turned off, hopefully he will see, or if anyone else has experience feel free to reply)
I just ordered a 30" Revo radial thread shaft to try. I have a radial thread Mike Webb cue about 15 years old. The shaft does not screw in far enough to reach the butt joint collar. There is a 0.125" gap. Is this an issue with the shaft or the butt? Is Mike's pin protrusion longer than most radial cues? Or did the Revo shaft not get threaded deep enough? Will I have the same problem if I order a radial pin butt from elsewhere? I just bought the shaft today, and if the shaft is the issue, I will return it.
I do have radial taps and held it agains the pin to verify it was a uni-loc radial, and not one of the knockoffs. To my eye the pitch matches exactly.
I don't have another radial thread butt to compare.
Thanks for any comments. Specs and pics below.
Pin protrusion: 1.274"
Shaft hole depth: 1.412"
Shaft thread depth: unable to measure.
