Making a cue lighter

You would be messing with the cue's integrity by then . And disasters can happen when drilling the handle.
You're already messing with the balance by a lot without that bolt.

Always easier said than done. I have a Schon with a messed up pin that I’ve been trying to remove for a week now.
Good morning
I changed one once. I wish I took pictures like I do now. It was a lot of work. Schon has or had a policy of not touching one of thier cues once someone else works on it. Try to get them to repair it. The one I did was really different than the normal set up we are use too.
Care to expand on that? Is there something locking the pin in place?
I wish I could remember the exact details. I remember removing the joint. It was a long time ago and I didn't keep the records I keep now. Did you get the joint screw out yet?

No. I have a feeling I’m not getting heat through to the bottom of the joint screw.
Is this what you’re talking about?

ALL joint screws should have a flat to prevent it from spinning.
Pretty sure this pin could have had nothing and still give me trouble. I’ve heard on more than one occasion that Schon uses slow cure epoxy on their pins.
I run length wise grooves for glue relief but they also lock the pin. I would dare say most of us use slow curing epoxy.
Not that much of a problem removing.Mario
