Stainless steel is NOT plated. It is a different metal throughout. There are 3 'breeds' of corrosion resistant steels. One is a little magnetic, but nothing like tool steels. The other two are not. Ask an airplane mechanic.

Stainless steel is NOT plated. It is a different metal throughout. There are 3 'breeds' of corrosion resistant steels. One is a little magnetic, but nothing like tool steels. The other two are not. Ask an airplane mechanic.
Just a question: How far can you move the balance point on a finished cue?
The OP has a Schon which I assume has a stainless joint. I'll accept from reading this that here has to be some kind of bolt left in the cue.
I don't know the standard weights of the bolts but lets say we take an ounce out of the butt. Or 2 ounces. How much movement would there be?
just curious.
BTW all stainless has at least some magnetic properties, some like 300 series is minimal and sometimes seemingly none. A strong rare earth magnet placed on my kitchen sink or my refrigerator can't hold its own weight. I can feel a tiny bit on my sink but not the frig. Maybe the frig really isn't stainless. The magnet I used for this exhaustive experiment can hold about 3pounds and weighs only a couple grams.
