This will probably make the 151st thread about the Revos but I am curious about their consistency. For those that are using them or have access to them, and the means to measure and weigh them I would like to know their specs. If you have the time and are able to post them please do so. Being entirely man made they should all be within a fraction of one another.

For example,
12.9 ?? ounce or 12.4 ?? ounce and also what pin it is for, if you could check the diameter would be cool also

place holder until I can take specs but I recall my Revo's both being 3.95 oz and .843 at the joint. will get more specs and update asap!
 
I can measure mine tonight when I get home.

Description: Radial 12.9mm
Insert: Stock from Predator
Weight: 3.9oz first time. 4.0 second time I weighed it. Must be somewhere between.
Joint Diameter: .841"
Tip Diameter: 12.89mm
Tip: Zan Premium Soft

My Revo(s):

0oz
0mm
and no joint

:D

One day when they're available I can let you know. Assholes on Facebook are raffling them off for $750 and people are selling them for $600+. I would pay the $200 and whatever dollar upcharge with a butt from a dealer but not $600 on a shaft...Until then I will stick with that inferior wooden stuff

12.4 Uniloc Revo shaft:

12.50 mm

Like Gutshot, if you have a set of accurate calipers please post the actual diameter right below the tip at the black/red plates. I've been surprised by the variability I've seen, was expecting better from an entirely artificial shaft. I've seen the following so far:

12.9 Uniloc QR - 12.9mm, 4oz
12.4 Uniloc QR - 12.7mm, 4oz (Sent that one back!)
12.4 Uniloc QR - 12.5mm, 3.9oz
12.4 Uniloc QR - 12.4mm, 3.85oz

To me this suggests they are having manufacturing problems with their tolerances and perhaps they are re-tooling, causing the current supply issues. This is pure speculation of course. It could just be they have just run out of the magic pixie dust that they impregnate them with.
 
My uniloc 12.4
Revo 4.0oz 29 1/8" 12.4mm

My radial 12.4
Revo-R1 3.8oz 29 1/8" 12.4mm

My rush 12.9
BKRevo 4.0oz 29 1/8" 12.85mm

FWIW my shafts we're measured by the same scale, tape measure & digital calipers.

Don't have a dog in this hunt but those are pretty closely matched shafts. Ever checked a sampling of a cuemakers wood shafts? I have and believe me they can be (and often are) wildly more inconsistent than these. What impresses me about the Revo's is the weight being VERY close on each shaft. Coming from a golf background i know that's not real easy to do.
 
Don't forget to take into account that everyone is using different scales and calipers to report their information. I'm sure there are some variances to take into consideration.

.1 mm corresponds to less than 4 thousandths of an inch. That is an incredibly tight tolerance. We manufacture aerospace parts and tolerances from Boeing are much larger than that. Standard tolerance on most parts to the third decimal place is 10 thousandths. A waterjet with a diamond jewel is in the neighborhood of 4 thousandths. Like mentioned above, I am going to go out on a limb and assume not all the calipers and scales being used are probably not calibrated to the highest standards.

I’m going to go with .1mm is not an an incredibly tight tolerance.

Standard tolerancing on 3 decimal places for anything I’m aware of is .005” (or .001” for certain industries).


How big are the parts you’re making for Boeing???

Incredible tight tolerance for me starts at 0.05mm. Even on a 12mm part.
