How to build a low cost Cue Shaft Spinner so you can clean, sand, or use sandpaper to shape the side of a cue tip while a rotating cue shaft.
- Go the local hardware store, take your cue shaft with you, and purchase a bolt about 3 inches long that has about 1 1/4 inch (or more ) of threads that will screw into and fits your shaft. (Hopefully your cue shaft has a standard thread of some kind, most of them are...)
- Also purchase a washer that fits the bolt, and a nut that also fits the screw threads.
- Next, take the bolt and cut the hex head off with a hack-saw leaving about 2 inches of unthreaded shaft. You might want to grind off the edge of the cut end a bit so it doesn't have any burrs or sharp edges.
- Then screw the nut on to the threads of the cut off bolt, then put on the washer after the nut, on the threaded end.
