    CNC processing speeds, which is the correct relationship...

    McDermott shaft gets loose

    This is why I use an 11 pitch pin. The 10 pitch is on the edge of staying tight IMO. Like Dick said if you reface the joint of the cue, or rough it somehow, it will help the problem.

    This has happened a couple of times to me. Once they purchased the wood from the same source I purchase it from. I started the process just like I would if I would get it in my shop from the original source. No issues with the piece, and I am building the cue. The only issue is the wait...
