Hi Mike. What about removing a, 5/16 x 18 shaft insert, and tapping it out to a 3/8 x 10 pin? Would it still have to be plugged and tapped?

Hi Eddie
Yes Sir. I prefer to bore the insert out. You could drill it out but if the bit locks , the shaft can spin in the collet leaving a burn mark. 1/2" plug works great for both. Snug fit the plug with good epoxy if it's not threaded.

The OD of the insert is larger than the bore required for 3/8 10 threads, commonly 7/16 14, so you would have to plug it after removing the brass insert before threading it to 3/8 10.
never mind, falling on deaf ears

Well, it just doesn't sound like a good idea but then you could say I'am a Pro
Cue builder so I tend to dislike fudging things when they could be done correctly.You've been given the correct way to do it, if you can't, best give it to someone qualified or buy a new shaft. Please don't take my response personally is not meant to be.
