This is a new J/B cue I received last month. Pin is centered however Collar is lopsided. Should I let this go or raise concern?

You say the hole is centered, does it fit everywhere else, at the joint roll straight etc. Is it possible that the collar is threaded on and this is what you are seeing?

It appears that the joint color is threaded on so naturally one side would appear thinner that the other.

If so, that could have been prevented by not taking the threads all the way to the end and ending in a round tenon instead of threads.

Interesting let me know how that works out.
I'm curious, how would you thread the collar on if the threads didn't go all the way to the end. Maybe if your tennon was two different diameters

Per the forum rules, I am not a professional cue maker so I'll let someone who is answer the question, should they choose to do so. I know how I do it, it's pretty simple.

Didn't you recently post that you don't have the ability to live thread, this would be impossible with a die

Yes, I have a thread mill setup on my lathe. You could actually do it with a tap and die, it would just be a little more of a PITA

You cant tap anything and leave no threads at your starting point which it the outermost part of the tennon This can not be done with a die and a tennon threader leaves threads at the starting point, unless you are live threading
Show me a tennon you have done with a die, with no threads on the end, you are full of yourself

Look closely at post #11, it shows you all you need to know. You don't tap the tennon to accept a threaded joint sleeve.
 
What part of this don't you understand? Run the die all the way down and then turn the end round. Simple!

There are a lot of ways of doing things. Some have no idea.
Here's a SIMPLE step by step using a threader from one of the suppliers.
The use of the dremil is for cutting the glue relief only. It's wider than what I use. I didn't feel like changing the bit just to show you. In a real situation, I would leave a shoulder at the base for seating.
Hope this helps. Took me a whole 10 minutes.

One of the best post ever on this Forum was,
Just because you don't know how to do something, doesn't mean it can't be done!

I've been working on cues most all day today, and ironically I've threaded six butts and joints today along with five conversions from linen to leather wraps.
