Turn key systems for our needs is very limited indeed. I'll send you a few suggestions by PM. What's your budget btw?

You wan't a machine just for tapering or do you want a bed style cnc so you can mount a shaft spinner and a rotational axis on it?

Any competent cuemaker can do that job. If Mr. Hsu is close to you, it's a no brainer.

ACME has a square shaped thread, it's basically the same style of thread geometry you'll find on a lathe or mill leadscrew.

Tiger uses 3/8-9 ACME

It's the shaft with the highest percentage of failiure, ask any cue maker.. The reason why it's like that is obvious, it's an incredibly thin walled ferrule and Isoplast once it gets a small nick in it, will develop a crack.. Looking for an older "mytical" shaft, that's really no different isn't...

Thanks, now I'm following. Doing stacked leather wraps, must be the fumes.. :LOL:

Weird stuff. The McDermott QR is clearly 3/8-16, but I agree, there's minimal information on McDermotts website. It just says "quick release" If they indeed have changed to 18TPI, that must be quite recently.

Nope. McDermott is 3/8-16. Viking QR is a 5/16-18 pin with a 17/64" minor.

I sell the chalk and it's a good chalk for sure. Since I last placed an order they have introduced a slew of new products, some are obvious rebranding of existing products and some feel very tongue in cheek, like the "butt wipe" and the boxer shorts.. As far as the shaft go, I think @epoxypop is...

Everyone sells billiard accessories now, I don't see why SVB should be any different? My first language isn't English, but I do notice that SVB's own post on Facebook about his new chalk could use a spell check: "Everyone knew many years I have played with masters chalk. Lot of top pro players...

I would guess this is a Triple 60 carbon fibre butt to go with the FG57 shaft? Pure speculation on my part..

Firstly, I'm not saying Kielwood is the holy grail, but the logic of thinking that a company that mainly focuses on profit will jump on a significally more expensive product in terms raw material cost is flawed. So I would discount that logic. I did ask Kazunori Miki personally when he visited...

I've done Hydex 202 inserts, works fine and it's very gentle on taps if you're doing something like Radial ow Wavy, where live threading isn't an option. In your case asking if you will feel a difference between Nylon or Hydex 202 on a 5/16-18 insert, my answer would be: I doubt it.
