Post a photo of the pin, and contact Wes Hunter

Mr. Hunters joint screw is very specific to his cues. It is not a radial, it is his and his alone. The best thing to do is contact him.
I agree. This is the best advice.
Live thread it.

Hello Tim.
I'm Alton
Nice to meet you.
I am not cue maker..
I used to make Black Delrin JP's for Wes Hunter.
Alamogordo for you UFO guys
Wes gave me one of his Joint Screws and I sent that Joint Screw as a sample, to ordered/purchase a custom made Tap and Adjustable Split Die to make the JP's..
I stop making those Delrin JP's in the early 2000's.

You might try looking in "The MACHINIST HANDBOOK".
Under Screw Threads.

In Cues.. A Standard Thread might be modified ( in some way) to become "Proprietary" or, different, as desired by that cuemaker.

Radial and fake radial?
Modified "V" Thread
1st..
No disrespect to anyone. :smile:
The Joint Screw is a Modified Flat Bottom 60* V Thread.
It is closer to the Wood Screw Thread Family, than the other Thread configuations.
ACME has 28* include angle threads.
Some of Bill Stroud's early cues had 5/16" x 14 ACME.
Wes' Threads are 60* flat top, Flat bottom shank (Minor Diameter).
3/8" (.375") nominal, with a .29-" Minor Diameter. ( Tom, you can measure the shank of your cue's pin for the last digit., so, I do not disclose Wes' Screw Specs.
Or, P.M. me.. As, it is not for me to disclose Wes' Pin details.
I will tell you the measument across the Flat of the tip of the Thread.
It is best not to tell Wes' Screw Specs on an open forum, and, it is his Proprietary Joint Screw.

Coos Cues
Individualism is what it is.
I guess so. My comment was an observation not a criticism. By all reports Mr. Hunter does indeed make a hell of a cue. He was way ahead of his time making his product Revo proof.

Tom, is there a reason you dont have Wes Hunter work on the cue?
You must have thought the the quality of his work was worth the money when you purchased the cue.
Cue makers will tell you their custom joint pin will hit better than standard pins but it is all smoke and mirrors.
Truth is they want to make it difficult for other cue makers to work on their cue.
Also cue makers need to have something they can say makes their cue hit and play different (and better) than other custom pool cues.

That almost looks like the joint on my Edwin Reyes Cue.
Sorry OP. Not pirating your thread. I just got excited
