3/8 × 10 versus radial pin opinions

Intersting, Is the 3/8×10 obsolete? Thanks

Far from it. The standard 3/8x10 is still, and will continue to be, one of my favorite joint screws. The only screw I have not used in my cues is the newer 3/8x10 flat bottom. I have the correct tap for the standard, which means my hole for the threads matches the screws .281 minor and don't see a need for the flat bottom in my cues. If it's not broke. Don't fix it.

My favorite pin as well although I use both. From an ease of installation, play and cost perspective it's simply the nuts.

Yes I did.

In my beginning days at Joss Cues I measured a 3/8-12 pin on a Ginacue (a standard wood thread) and mistook it for a 3/8-10. Dan and I had the 3/8-10 pins made to order and McDermott and Viking copied them.

That is a fact.

Not the first time I've heard this. Mr. Janes told me years ago. He didn't mention the 12 thread. I think he might still have some of the originals. He doesn't throw much away. Lol
Thank you to both of you.

I invented both the 3/8-10 and the Radial pin.

I have used both in my personal cues and can tell no difference.

Well, it is 6 years later now. But, since your ARE the man: Any idea what Evan Clark did on his Segan cues? All I know it it is a 'modified radial thread'. It appears to be around .328 (21/64 inch?) outer dia and 10 TPI, ball-type thread. At least I think it is 10 TPI. Hell, I just want a set of joint protectors at this point. lol

This forum is not the place to ask this question. Try the INAF (International Necromancy Association Forum).

Pretty tough addressing Mr. Stroud.
He past away.
But I get it.
See if you have a Cue person near you.
 
Oh, my - I did not know he was gone. I had no idea. I only started playing again a few months ago. Too many gone... 'tis the way of things I guess. Still, doesn't seem right. A few years, and everything changes.
