Revo shaft- plug and redrill?

Just because you don't "like" the Revo shaft doesn't mean it's not a very viable, well-made shaft. They play extremely well, and have become the main playing shaft for many people. :rolleyes:

Well, OK, I don't like the REVO shafts, IMHO it's a bit of a waste to do extra work on it to fit a cue LOL A hollow carbon fiber tube filled with pillow stuffing is not something I want on my cue.

Follow up. The customer Claimed that Predator charged him $100.00 to buff out the small knick from the collet. I gave him the money and lesson learned not to do work on Revo shafts til I find a better way to re-tip them and of course not for someone who blames everyone except the manufacturer for soft finish.

I think that`s a raw deal for you, your $100 out, but hopefully the customer wan`t bother you again, that`s a plus...
I retip Revo shafts now and again and even with a good metal lathe that runs withing a few thou it`s a pain, so I charge extra.
I have made extra thick and long tapered collets that fit`s the two Revo shaft models, that helps alot.
 
I don't understand???

Why won't predator/revo sell you the shaft with whatever threads you want?

Why won't predator/revo sell you the shaft with "No" threads at all and the cue maker can do the work without having to plug?

Why have you not called predator/revo regarding either of these two solutions and possibilities?

They want your money and you want the product "YOUR" way.

For right now. I would have to say the Revo is still new. It only makes sense that they would concentrate thier supply based on thier proprietary joint screws.

FWIW - Joey Chin took a radial Revo and ran a 3/8 - 10 tap through it and it worked great ...

I think you definition of great need some context. A radial pin has a minor of .312" a regular 3/8-10 pin has a minor of .302" a modified .3/8-10 has a .308" minor. So if you thread in a hole bigger than what the tap is intended for, and the hole allready have another thread pattern, your gonna have problems - sooner, not later.
Your post can also be misleading for people and a worst case scenario they can ruin their $600 shaft.
