Extending thread of Pechauer Joint?

_tony_ said:

Hi everyone.
I have used the Search function, altough haven't found the answer I'm looking for.

I was wondering if could be possible (I believe it can be done, I don't know if it would work) extending the thread on a Pechauer Joint to make it fit all shaft with full 5/16x14.

Thanks to whoever could give me an answer.

The proper fix is to have the shaft insert bored out to fit the pilot.



The shaft will still work on any other 5/16 14 pin, as a 'quick release'.

From an earlier post by Shawn Armstrong

" The Pechauer speed joint is a modified 5/16-14 thread. It has a threaded top, and then an unthreaded post. Any 5/16-14 thread shaft can be turned into a speed joint by drilling/boring out about 1/2" of the threads with a boring bar, or using a 5/16 drill bit (get a repair guy to perform the operation, please)."



that's if you wanted to modify the shaft vs. butt.
