Carbon shaft joint question
- Thread starter 735038
- Start date
Whole insert made from black juma.
So as you cannot make threads because of cf tube there are not so many options there. It is more about quality of your work ... how good = close to the tube taper at the joint end you make the insert, what material used, its length and such. Certain weight, balance, feel you want to get is the final goal.
Can I ask you what kind of foam do you use to fill your shaft?
Foam it 5
Do you pour it?
I like to use 3 times the diameter as the glue length of the insert into the Carbon shaft. I have used Maple in the joint end and Balsa wood. Then I glue the insert into that. The threaded insert can be Brass, Al, Phenolic , what ever you want to use. For the radial threads, I just tap into the Maple or Phenolic. Just remove any release agent before trying to test fit or gluing.
Yes, is the ridgid one or the flexible, Thank You
The first one is ridgid and the second flexible, wich one?
Rigid
The first one is ridgid and the second flexible, wich one?
Ok, I would have think the flexible, Thank You!
I wouldn’t bore the hole in the juma until it is all glued up, so you can account for any variation in the CF tube. I’m new to building cues though.

I fill with foam (rigid) but at that stage only an undersize hole has been drilled. Then drill and tap for the uni-loc insert
