What does this part mean? That it has to already be modified to accept a certain specific air fitting?
Or can you use any typical gun drill, and figure out your own method to connect air to it?

The connection comes out the side instead of the back like a coolant one

9/32?
Experimenting with shaft bore or insert?

Tell them what you need.

Yeah, shaft end core

 

[JoeyInCali]

Yeah, shaft end core

Fwiw.
I experimented too.
From .285 by 5" bore and 3/8 cf tube.
I don't anymore as the people who play with my cues just want conventional shafts.
I do use a lighter and shorter ferrule now

I have what is maybe a dumb question. If you're drilling into a shaft 9/16 for 5 inches, why does that require a gun drill.

Drills will walk but if you were to bore a pilot hole to fit the bit snuggly maybe an inch deep you could probably get a straight hole with a drill bit. But maybe not.

You can use a Brad point after boring a pilot hole.
But, the OP looks like he wants to drill deeper.

Are you saying the brad points will walk less?

Will do

I've drilled quite a few of them that I had lieing around, 5 inches deep, 1/4 up to 5/16 depending on the diameter of the shaft. Just wanted to see how it effected the play. Far as them walking, guess I wouldn't know as I didn't put in cf, just left them hollow.
Just entertaining myself.
Thanks
