Nice job. I've not seen anyone use the razor blade 'by hand' to do the final sizing (if that's the correct terminology). I use a razor blade like that but it's in a utility knife. I'm going to have to try your procedure for final tip prep. I've been leary of re-tipping carbon fiber shafts (just because of the final prep work). Nice video - thank you.
That's a really good install. I play with that exact tip on my cue but always have to install by hand, no lathe, i do a good job but i really enjoy watching your ibstall videos. Good work!!
@@arsbilliards I build, repair, modify, and maintain cues. Just product on hand to maintain cost a small fortune. Good work by the way. Those tips look great.
Why to much water used. That’s why the tip looks swollen and frying. The tip should never get wet. Water is only used to remove any dust. Learn how to burnish the right way. Beeswax and real leather.

What cue lathe,glue used on tip,and what is tool called used to shave tip down after installation! Was that a sniper tip installed on shaft there?
what grit is the orange sandpaper you always use at the end?
this cue I think I used 1000-1200-1500, The red sandpaper I have is 500-1500
Wow the money in tips alone in that drawer! 😵
that's not all the tips I have in stock too 😅

if that razor blade was to catch!
blood on the saddle...and compound; -)
Thanks for your concern 😅 I have installed hundreds of tips and have had no issues yet 😁
You use compressed air to remove the mess I see
yup, easy clean up it gets all the sanding dust off the tip real quick
?what, pray tell, is a "tiger tip", exactly?
not a player, really, but interested in new things...
Tiger tips are a great quality American made tip. They play amazing and have different harnesses for different types of players

No water was used in this install. It was liquid burnish on a paper towel. I finish every cue with a beeswax compound.
