I can't find those thick rings too.
I bought some Butt size to use for the joint side,but, I'm worried that, having an I.D. of .750, it would only leave 1/16" holding on the fit and face
when installed. Kinda too little surface area to "Grab" when cutting that thick of a ring.. That Turning Tool better be "Cutting Butter" , or, the resistance, and the heat created, might break the glue bond and spin the ring and ..

PM me your address & I'll send them to you. I don't use metal rings anymore, so you can have them...JER

My guess....poor finish(sealer)adhesion and expansion and contraction differences with the rest of the cue.
I know they look cool but they are the biggest pain in the ass you can put in a cue. They will keep the refinish guys busy for years to come.

Special thanks to Mr. Jerry Eick for his generosity.
