Cognoscenti Thread Tap 7/16x11

[JoeyInCali]

Joey does not tap, he live threads his shafts in his collet chuck.

That's a big secret

Any competent cuemaker with live threading capabilities and the pin specs will be able to do this in less than half an hour. It's an easy job, don't get gouged on the price.

What is live-threading exactly?

It's a good thing, just method a that is easier for the more advanced cue makers
It was already explained and I'm thinking, in this thread

Threading by using a live cutter

Using a cutting tool in a router or spindle to cut threads from one side of your material while it's spinning in a lathe that travels at the precise TPI you need. (Threads Per Inch)

Can this be done by hand if you buy the tap and the shaft already has been tapped for a radial pin?

Very unlikely. You can use a tap to create the new threads, but you need to be able to keep everything precise.

I'm looking for someone that can change the threads on a couple carbon fiber shafts from radial to 7/16x11.

I know this can be done by live threading the shaft using the pin that is in the butt of the cue. Is this the preferred method or is using a tap better?

Anyone have a tap for the old Cog pin?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.

You need to have a repairman or cue maker to do this. It's an easy task for someone who has the tools and knowledge. if you are buying these shafts to have them fit to a different pin You better add in the cost of paying someone to do the work.

No.
The radial screw is 3/8 with 5/16 hole.
Cog is 7/16 that needs a bigger hole.
