I bought a Joss a few months ago. My daily SS360 shaft which fits fine on my Schon and other 5/16-14s, was difficult to thread on to this Joss. Not bad, about as snug as a United joint, I guess. But that's an older shaft, I bought it used, so I expect any clearancing / wearing-in was already done before I ever got it.
Just today I received a new SS360. It threads fine onto other cues, but not the Joss. It will go all the way, but it's pretty tight. I don't want to risk loosening the insert or the pin by too much force.
I've read here that some thread fixing on pins can be done, depending on the situation.
The cue at the top is the Joss.
The pin thread face angles look okay, but it's hard to tell for sure, because the leading few threads are flattened.
If these threads are just too questionable, if this isn't a candidate for (careful) thread restoring, I'll just get the pin replaced.
Thanks for any advice.
