OB turn down

[cueguy]

How far can an original OB shaft be turned down?
I seem to remember a thread but can't locate.
Thanks!

im not a cue maker and its probably best for you to contact OB cues directly
but i think no more than 0.5 mm for the warranty to still be valid

Yea - I knew you can't go very far.
I left Royce a message yesterday - hope to hear back soon.

Our limit is .5mm from original diameter.

I've seen many smaller that didn't have any problems, but if a shaft comes to us with a related issue, and it's smaller than spec, then it wouldn't be a matter for warranty.

Oh, and just so you know, I really try to steer clear of PM's for anything business related.

Trust me, it's much better to just call or email us.


Thanks

Is there any difference between the Plus technology vs. laminated, from a turn-down standpoint?
In other words, is the Plus less likely to have issues if turned down more than .50 mm

Thanks

With regards to the maximum turn down, no there's no difference.

The original SR-6 construction used 6 pieces of flat laminated maple strips, turned round and notched to be spliced together into the shaft blank.

The new SR-6+ construction uses 6 pieces of solid maple strips milled from the log and chosen specifically for this purpose, turned round and notched to be spliced together into the shaft blank.

Basically, we still splice the shaft together, we just use 6 solid maple pieces instead of 6 laminated pieces.

Interesting stuff and a good explanation of the Plus differences
