Press fitting joint pins

I have to admit, that I am as old school as they come. Recently a cuemaker friend told me that he has been inserting his pins, with none threaded barrels directly into the bored hole. He does not leave a glue relief, but still has had no problem, for several years. As I said, I am old school, BUT I am willing to expieriment with this method. I have a few 3/8-10 screws with the none threded barrels & I'm going to see how accurate & stable these go in...JER

There was a cue I repaired that the pin pulled out of, The customer was not amused at the bill. I didn't gouge, just repaired it correctly and told him to forward the bill to the Cue maker with my thoughts there is no courtesy for STUPID. Can't tell you his name, it's a confidentiality thing.
 
> I know how much truth there is to this,but I heard Joe Gold tell someone that he used this method. He used pins with an alignment barrel and no threads on the back,glue grooves on the barrel,and some light grooves in the bored hole,and let gravity pull the pin in,so that when the glue dried,the pin was in a glue "grid",LOL. This was in 1994,and I'm wanting to say he told Dan Dishaw or Mike Lambros this. Neither of them called bullshit on him.

It kind of made sense then,before I really knew anything about internal construction or even machining processes. Now,I know he made that crap up off the top of his head. Tommy D.
 
Do you think their could have been a relef under the collar. Or is it that extra little push at the end of the tap?

Thanks Rvan
