Tiger Cue X-tension Kit
This is a last minute adaptation of a customer's cue to allow the use
of the Tiger Cue X-tension Kit.
I had to plug the recess created for the original bumper. I bored
the plug to .560" diameter & threaded it 5/8-18. I went with a
smaller lead hole because the threads on the Tiger insert are undersized
(.600" vs. .625") and I wanted to maximize the thread holding ability.
I had to shorten the cue by about .090" to remove some of the corner
radius so the extension would seat solidly. Next, I cut a shallow
undercut to locate the leather washer. From there, it's a matter
of screwing the insert into the butt & tightening it. Install the
bumper & it's ready to go!
As you can see, in this instance, there is a bit of the maple plug
showing on the outside of the insert. I simply colored it with a
black marker to make it less visible. On a planned installation, I
would simply leave the black phenolic solid, eliminating the need for a
plug.
