Options for a mezz compatible screw in extension

billiardthought said:
The butt of my cue is threaded for the mezz bumper, and I am in the market for an extension but really none of the mezz extensions do it for me.

Is anyone setup to replicate this extension or maybe 1 or 2 inches longer in a solid piece of wood? Or would the wood threads/tenon area be suspect for failure?

I am not looking for anything ridiculously pretty, just one chunk of lighter weight wood that will get played and played a lot. I don't like the idea of paying $100 for 4 inches of aluminum with a logo on it. I would rather pay that same price for wood with a signature or nothing on it at all even! Feel free to comment, PM, or text me: Jeremy 256-468-5748. This is a no rush order.

If you have the X-bumper, it`s very easy to make an extension for you. Mezz uses a regular M6x1.5 thread for their extensions. I`ve made quite a few.

Since when is M6x1.5 'regular'? M6x1 is standard and M6x0.75 is the normal fine-thread.

Did you mis-type, or do you need to buy a $300 tap for the weight bolt just like for their stupid joint screws?

Well I can go to my local hardware store and pick up a M6x1.5 rod and it`s easy to find screws in the same M6 pitch, so I don`t really know what your getting angry about?
I think a set of taps was $15.

Do you happen to know what the external thread of the x-bumper? I got quite a few mezz bumper and would like to made custom extension for them. I would like to buy tap for threading the butt. regards

M6x1.5? I can't even find a tap online. In case there is a language/knowledge barrier, that is threaded rod with a major diameter of 6mm and one thread per 1.5mm, correct?

And I'm not angry. I chuckle every time I hear about the stupid threads that Mezz (or any cuemaker) comes up with. I still laugh at people who think the radial was a good idea.
 
I am pretty sure that Mezz uses a standard M6 thread on their extensions. I have the exceed model and I have made dozens of phenolic bumpers for several different cue brands to use with a Mezz extension, every single one of them with the standard M6x1mm thread insert in them and all have worked so far :embarrassed2:

If Kim has Mezz extensions with a different pitch I would like a picture with a thread gauge if possible? It is possible that they have changed it at some point but mine is without a doubt a standard metric M6 thread and it was bought about two years ago :smile:
 
Why not just make an extension with 3/8 16 screw?
Cheap! And the bumper for it is readily available.
