Hello,

Does anyone know where to purchase these pins besides Atlas? Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.

Up until a couple of years ago it was possible to purchase these pins diredtly from Uni-Loc. Apparently they got tired of dealing with cuemakers and gave exclusive distributor rights to Atlas.

I cannot find Uni-Loc's web site any more.

I still think they are the most accurate and best pin made. The nice thing about them is that when I die my customers can still have a new shaft made with no problem.

Some of these "bastard" thread joint screws lock the customer to the cuemaker who made the cue for as long as the cue is alive. I don't think that is fair to the customer.

Just my opinion.
 
I have a stock of radial pins. Mostly aluminum but a few brass and steel. $8 each to whoever wants them. PM me.

Chris Hightower sells them. I think that Schmelke has them also..

Schmelke's is a different version. Needs a different tap.
Tom at www.tnscues.com makes 'em.
With a 5/16 14 bottom too.
I got a few on order as Tom is coming back from the expo.

And when you call that maker to buy one of his pins so you can use it for maintenance on his cues/shafts and he asks $35 for his cheap pin, he's really a uknowwhat.
