joint size on bludworth sneaky pete
- Thread starter dmgwalsh
- Start date
It's 3/8 but not a standard 10 or 11 pitch.
Blud's computer is broke.
I think it's 3/8 11.5.
Hey Jon, why don't you make some jp's for DMG?
Snakewood with ivory and pink ivory trim.
Grind the threads with your 1/4" nail.lol

blud's pin
Wrong info, my joint pin is [.348 x 11.455 threads per inch].
the joint size is, [.840]........
puter is running off and on. Whatever you do, do not buy a direcway dish system, . Had nothing but trouble for about 1-1/2 years.

Why are you going wireless with your Internet Blud?
No DSL in your area?
Directway is an overpriced turte internet system.
Blud,
Why did you choose 11.455 TPI. Unless I'm completely missing something, that is not a standard thread size in inches or when converted to metric (2.217mm pitch). It could be a fractional size of 11 5/11, which is 11.45454545, but that is not a standard thread either. Did you have to make your own change gears on your lathe to thread this size? Did you choose this size so that your shafts are not interchangeable with other cues? I'm simply curious why you chose this thread when 11TPI or 12TPI would probably work just as well and can be made on nearly any lathe.

threads
Hi Nick,
I tired several differant threads, before I designed mine.11.455 is perfect. Also no one else has it. The reason, it's the best in my opinion for "MY" cues.
It fitts tight for years to come. it's the proper weight for the joint location. I balance my cues with the natural weight of the woods being used. With this small amount of pin weight, it's "PERFECT".
When I started building cues, there were only 4 pins being used, they are the 5/16 x 18, 5/16 x 14, the 3/8 x 10, and the south-west. I didn't like any of these. I also do not beleive in copying others hard work. I showed the original designers of there own pins, the respect they have coming. So i developed my own.

Blud,
I totally understand your reasoning. I am more interested in what modifications you had to make to your lathe when threading that pitch. Did you make/change your own change gears to come up with the proper ratio? Can you still use the threading dial to continue a thread (when making a thread in multiple passes) or do you have to keep the half-nut constantly engaged like you would when threading a metric pitch on an inch leadscrew lathe.
I have no intentions of copying your thread by any means, I'm just curious as to the techical part of the machine modifications.
Also, do you find that you get many customers with damaged shaft threads becasue a cue repair guy mistook it for a 3/8-10 thread when working on the shaft?

pins
Once in a while some jerk, who thinks he's a cue-re-pairman, will screrw up the threads. A qualified cue repairman, can see the differance, and use the proper pin. If he
doesn't have a pin with my threads, he can us a soft delrin collect and hold the joint collors and make the nessesary repairs.
I now have my pins made for me. The process is, rolling. They take a 5/16 stainless rod, and mash the hell out of it and it acctually grows bigger, to a finished size of .348........

Just wanted your opinion:
Do you think that "rolled" threads are as accurate as lathe-cut threads??? I have another question concerning your's and iusedtoberich's discussion, but I’ll keep it to myself, so you won't blurt out any of your secrets. LOL
