Threads for Uni-Loc Joint Insert

[cueguy]

I am getting ready to order a few Uni-Loc Joint Inserts and I need to know what tap I need for the inserts.

Thanks!

Atlas billiards has the pdf installation instructions for the insert and the pin on this page.

Everything you need to know is there. Because Eric cares he's a good person to do business with.

The answer to your specific question is 7/16-20

7/16 20. Too fine and too short for wood imo.
Make sure you grind two flats on those inserts . They are infamous for spinning out .

Live threading with my Joey cutter gives those type of threads a hell of a lot better chance than trying to use a tap which IMO would be futile at best.
