I ordered a mezz wx900 with the united joint. Does anyone know if it will fit on my original ob break butt? The brass collar on the ob break shaft is a small one so I'm not sure if it will fit or not?!????
But that can be ground down by a cue maker.The pilot that sticks out of the Mezz shaft is too long and will not fit into the OB break butt.
Just had some brass inserts come in but the united pins could not even go into the inserts which were 5/16-14. Probably due to the difference in the minor diameter. If the brass inserts come with a slightly bigger minor diameter, they may probably fit.

Run a tap through the insert or ream .312"
Are you sure?? :grin-square:
Yes I have done that several times with good results.
Say I need a United joint shaft fit a Schon or Joss
Okies. You lost me on the .312 reamer on a .312 screw. It's all good.
I use a reamer on 5/16-18 inserts when fitting shafts for Viking cues with their slightly oversize pin.
That better be some .360"+ screw.
After looking at some of the sharing, I went ahead to try boring and modifying the 5/16-14 brass insert. I was a little skeptical if the tool bits will be able to do the job. But I approached it slowly and thin passes.
Well, thank you guys for the sharing. Managed to modify the brass insert to fit the United pins now. Can continue with some of the jobs!
