3/8 spiral joint?

[NathanDetroit]

Craigslist post showed an interesting (to me) cue. Goy in touch with the seller as he had not shown the joint. He said it was a Mile High cue with the company's signature 3/8 spiral joint.

Anyone heard of this?

TIA

Maybe 3/8-16

3/8 x 10 more likely....

Will ask for a picture of the pin.

Seller sent a few blurry pix. One shows 5280, but only figured it out thanks to you.

The picture of the pin is not what I know as a 3/8×10. Looks a bit like a radial, but never had one to compare.

Thanks

I've got the same problem. I just bought a Radial pin shaft from an AZB member. Doesn't fit, nor does a 3/8-10. The pin is about 1" long, and it appears to be 9 tpi
I don't know how to post pictures

That's called a Radial joint, they take Radial shafts

Radial Joint is what I just got, but it doesn't fit. I can get it to screw on about halfway down the pin before it gets harder.
Edit: any idea of what else it would be?

Can you post a photo?

Mile High Billiards sometimes used wacky 3/8-16 pins because Ernie Martinez used them for a bit

Can you post a photo?

No sir. I tried it once before but never could get it to work

So you know it's definitely a Radial pin?

Mine looks very similar to the one in the photo, but the spiral grooves are deeper and more concave, I guess.

The thread jack muddled things.

Is the pictured pin a radial?

Thanks

It could be the Asian version of the radial joint screw. 3/8x8.
Very common

I feel like that is precisely what it is!
Thanks Michael

do you think the Radial shaft can be tapped to fit the 3/8"-8?
