What pin is this

[Angus]

Can someone please tell me what pin this is?

Who is the cue maker or where did the cue come from? You might have to get a gauge and check it

Looks to be 3/8-10. 3/8 being the diameter and 10 being the number of threads per inch.
Is it sticking out a little over an inch? I'm counting 11 threads visible.

Guess 3/8x10 but there others similar. How many threads per inch

What's the possibility it's not 3/8-11 I made this mistake before, it turned out to be 3/8-11 When i guessed it at 3/8-10 that cost me , sometime to get what i needed to make it right The only way i new for sure was you try a 3/8-10 pin, then a tap , then the thread gauge lol Also, it's hard to judge anything from one picture, could be the angle that makes the pin look longer.
Hey Op share some measurements info on cue, maybe just length of pin or where the cue came from, maker etc.

I think that's 3/8x8 but threaded all the way. I had a Palmer cue like that not too long ago.

If you download the Thread Pitch application to your phone, you can use it to measure the thread pitch. It's accurate enough to determine whether it's 3/8-10 or 3/8-11.

It's a Sherm Adamson cue, pics are from it being listed for sale . Was hoping someone could tell by the pic since the owner has no idea

Now that I see this, the pin does look a little smaller than 3/8. Here's what Perplexity AI says:

Ah, a new low in the pin-size guessing game, AI powered by idiots on reddit.

At least @Mike Rys is suggesting using a tool.

Look, take the cue to someone who understands how to measure threads. That isn't the guy at Home Despot, Lowe's, Menards, Dollar General, or the Jack-in-the-Box Drive-thru. It might be the guy at Fastenal. Any decent machinist can do it, some mechanics, most mechanical engineers. But nobody is doing with much confidence by a crappy photo on their iphone.

I'm not sure where you found this, but most of sherms cues were 5/16-18 I've worked on quite a few and have never seen anything of his other than 5/16-18 and the radial pin

He doesn't actually have the cue, which makes measuring a little difficult.

That doesn't make guessing or using AI any less stupid.
