My D series McDermott pin seems larger than my other McDermotts. I have some Ps that have pins too large for some shafts but fit others. I have bought 10 sets of JPs from both custom builders and production inventory; metal, delrin, wood. There is no consistency among them regarding fit. It seems to me that spending this much for such beautiful work is a risk. Do you prefer that people send you their stick? Are there different pins that you can use? It seems the secret is a large thread for butts and a small thread for shafts. Would you say that is your product spec?

Thanks, Frank

Hi Frank You give me accurate dimentions and I garrentee the j/ps to fit . I have had a couple buyers send Butts , and shafts , but usually to match custom ringwork . very seldom is anything sent to me except Accurate information . There is no standard . Digital calipers can be obtained for under $20. bucks and they are very accurate . Thanks , hope to here from you . thanks Jim
 
Lovely joint protectors!

I have already two sets of jps made by Jim, and they are lovely too....
 
Measuring a cue joint for custom protectors

Jim,

When you have an electronic calipers, how does one accurately measure the joint to determine the specific type. It's my understanding the first number in a joint refers to the thickness of the bolt thread and the second number refers to the number of threads contained within a one inch measurement. Does that sound correct to you?

So when you have a cue that has a piloted ivory joint, you might not be able to measure a one inch span on the thread since a portion of the threads is recessed beneath the cue joint's flat surface. As an example, my cue only has approx. 5/8-3/4" extending above its ivory collar but there are also threads beneath the ivory collar where the shaft collar gets seated. So in those situations, should you just count the threads within a 1/2" span and then double the count so it's equivalent to what a 1" span should measure at?

There seems to be a really broad array in different cue joint sizes, and, I do appreciate that the majority of cue-makers typically use(d)only a few different types of cue joints. Thanks for any feedback you can provide.

I think that Jim is referring to the outside dimension of the joint itself.NOT the pin.
 
Dimension of the joint diameter is one thing (use the caliper for this). To measure which kind of pin you have, use the caliper again to measure thickness, normal sizes are 3/8 and 5/16. The last number is threads per inch, normal is 10,14,18. For a normal pin, you can measure 1/2 inch, count threads and muliply by 2, but you have to be more accurate. Remember there are som pins where the threads stop a bit before the top. If you have a piloted joint, you will need measurements for that too. The last thing to keep in mind, is that some cue makers install the pins further in to the butt than others, so measure the length of the pin from collar to the top of the pin too.

Radial and uni-loc joints will be different.

Thanks Jobba

Jobba786,

Thank you for the explanation. I was not certain about the counting the threads which otherwise appear to be somewhat recessed within the piloted joint. I would probably not have accurately determined the actual number of threads without your helpful explanation.

I will be out of town till next Thursday . Christy will be here monday and Tuesday . Jim
