Oops, you got me, missed that one.
However, when I mike and count threads on the Longoni, I come up with about .480" by 10 threads. Perhaps there is some variation.

I honestly don't know. But I think a list should be compiled and a sticky should be in place because everyone, Cue makers and non Cue makers has to deal the variations.
LOL!
I was just looking to see if anybody posted that.
You straightened me out on that pin one time, I didn't know it existed. Wasn't that a Joss Brunswick pin?

Respectfully, I think that's his wood pin, and not the typical carom wood pin.
I was looking into carom wood pins a couple years ago but really don't remember. There are some variations but as I remember one main one.

I agree.
Even just us guys watching from the cheap seats would benefit. Definitely a great suggestion.
Yes Sir.
Just one of the many reasons I cherish my friendship with Dan Janes. The man is just incredible.
Well Doc, after using a few micrometers and a good magnifying glass, at least going by my Longoni, I'm going to say the carom pin is somewhere between 15/32 X 10, and 31/64 X 10.
Of course, this is subject to manufacturing tolerances, as well as my usual klutziness, but you're right, it would be interesting to know if there is a standard.
I'm sure we've lost a few on this one. :boring2:
All the best for micrometers, and reading glasses...

Apparently Longoni is 1/2x10 and Hanbat is darn close, but it is said that you might have to sand a Hanbat a little to get it to fit into a Longoni.
So...they aren't exactly the same.

Diekman apparently is 1/2 x 10

Not surprising then, that I measure the Longoni pin at a bit less than 1/2. It didn't get to .500 anywhere on the pin. I suspect a little finishing is done to prevent the pin from sticking too much as normal wood expansion happens.
I say this, because I had to have Mike Cochran work on the inside of both of my 3/8 X 10 Acme pin shafts, as they were getting too tight to screw in. Wood surfaces in most climates expand a bit, so it makes sense that the pin might measure a bit less than whatever the standard is supposed to be. The actual measurement is everything. A theoretical standard isn't. I do notice none of those threads take it to the thousandth, which I do.
All the best,

In any type of screw wether it be brass, steal or wood the mor threads per inch will present a tighter tolerance to the mating surface. The more course the more angle at the mating surface.

I doubt it, everybody loves you.
Oh, yep. Missed that one. Good call MR. Webb. I have a super nice shaft with a 3/8 x ???? I am going to try to remember to take with me the next time I visit Ernie Martinez to see what the heck it is. If its a gem I'll leave it alone. If not I,ll have it fit for something I need a shaft for some day.
Nice. If your going to see Ernie. You can put that 3/8x????. On one of his cues seeing he uses 3/8x12.

I hope to see Ernie very soon actually and I am bringing that shaft with me. Here is another ebay shot I just had to share.

I have one of these on a Brunswick Medalist, there's a screw inside the shaft insert, really chintzy import joint
