    Having shaft diameter reduced - worth researching "the right shop?"

    Sorry, but I serious doubt a shaft will play differently when one hundredth of an inch of wood is removed from a 13mm shaft. Especially if the shaft already has a pro taper. It may feel better to the player taking into account hand size and such, but that's about it. Alan

    Coring a forearm and leaving it empty in an attempt at moving the balance point

    First, where is the balance point on the cue butt with the shaft now? Second, the front of a cue butt is a stress point and you will be weakening that part by creating a cavity. Third cavities can resonate, so again probably not a desirable thing. Just my morning thoughts before coffee. Alan

    Kelly's Cue Cut Experts

    I'm assuming you entered 1.125 as your cutter diameter. The Center of your tool needs to be zeroed on the point of your dead center. If you are touching off the cutter to the point of you're dead center, that is where your error lies.

    Shaft Hole Depth Creates Void Question.

    That's why I said most taps. I don't know of a bottoming tap for 3/8X10 or radial, but I suppose one could be custom ground. I prefer the piloted version of those myself. In any case, Happy New Year!

    Shaft Hole Depth Creates Void Question.

    Most taps require around 1/2 inch extra bore length in order to make full threads. The void you have is typical in shafts with a wood to wood joint.

    IS 3/8-8 RADIAL THE SAME RADIAL USED ON MOST SHAFTS?

    3/8-8 is not the thread pitch of the US radial pin. Close, but not exact.
