not to long ago there was a post about a cue maker that didnt glue his pins in, i was just curious if you installed a pin with no glue would it have a diffrent hit or feel than a cue with glue holding the pin???

thanks:thumbup:
 
Other than possible noise from vibration, no. Several have tried it, most didn't continue it.
 
i mainly ask because i was installing my first shouldered pin last night and went to test fit it and it got in but cant get it out lol i could but i would probably have to ruin the pin and at id hate to do that, there expensive and i dont have anymore.
 
pin removal

Trent- Here's what I do: I made a set of tools for this job. They are ordinary inserts which I slit lengthwise on one side so when I spin them onto the joint screw and squeeze with vice grips they grip tightly with no damage to threads. For 3/8-10, radial and others with no inserts, drill and tap a short length of phenolic rod, slit, and use it the same way. The phenolic may crack but it's not a problem. This works for all joint styles I've run into.

Tap, tap tap. Very good solution.

Jam nuts

If you take 2 hex nuts, tap w/joint pin size, screw the nuts on the pin.
Hold one static tighten the 2nd nut up against the 1st.With your wrench on the inside nut,extract the pin. You cannot damage the pin.

Ruin the pin, Do it the right way and no problems down the road. Those what if's can come back to haunt you. Mr Di'Angelo had made me a set of plexi glass pliers, for 5/16, 3/8X10 and Radial ball screws, They are the nuts. Don't know if he still offers them, Steve Lomax might know for sure.

Another option is to tap a pieces of delrin or other soft material, split it and use polygrips or a large tap wrench.This will not damage the pin thread.The tap wrench allows even torque on the pin,not loading one side.

Mike,
You are right,those pliers are the nuts.I have several sets for different pins.
I don't know if Angelo still makes them or not.If anyone is interested,I can try to find out.Lots of good tips,they all will work well I think.

Best Wishes,

Steve
