Shaft won't fit on my Scruggs Cue?

[sherlock]

Hello,

I recently got a TS 5/16x14 SS jointed cue that came with only one shaft. I've got an extra James White piloted 5/16x14 shaft I'd like to use on the cue but it won't screw on all the way (the recessed collar of the SS joint on the butt won't fit over the piloted portion of the shaft). Can someone tell me what the options are for fixing this and estimated price?

Tx very much.

Sounds like the pilot is too big Any cuemaker/repair man can fix that. Need a lathe and a razor blade. Pilot need reshaped very easy fix

It sounds like the piloted portion on the shaft needs to be trimmed down to a smaller size to allow the shaft to be screwed down all the way on the butt!? It's not a big deal.....I'd say maybe $20 to have someone do this for you. I've done this to several Predator shafts to match up to an older Palmer cue.

Just the news I was hoping for--thanks!
