Uniloc Installation ?

[RDCustomCues]

I been using standard pins on all my cues including jump breaks. However I just ordered a few uniloc pins and inserts from Atlas.

My question is what taps should I be expecting to use and any installation tips would be great.

1/4" hole, tap 5/16-14. Bore out for locating barrel on pin and install.
Insert:
3/8" hole tap 7/16-20. Bore for locating barrel, install.

Insert:

That's how I've done them. It's important to bore for those shoulders in order to utilize the self centering feature to Your best advantage. I've never had a centering issue while going in to a cue with them. I have had an insert pull out one time though on a break cue of mine, but that was a combination of Me making the pilot a hair too snug, and the bottom threads giving out while breaking. I re-installed the insert, and am breaking with that cue now, and it's holding just fine. If one ever starts making a clacking sound when hit with, then there's a possibility the insert is working loose.
