Are you making laminated tips? I experimented with pressing small pieces of leather (single layer) in a vice, left them overnight, and they came out nicely.

Well to be honest i bought one of these last week and it arrive five days later , the quality seems good and i,ve pressed a few phoenix tips in it and the layers seem to be muck tighter , put one on my cue but not played with it yet but fiirst impression , money well spent .

Lots of tips come flat now anyway ie kamui tips.
You end up shaping it when fitted anyway.
I understand the purpose for already rounded tips tho.

Always stick me Elks in a vice overnight, saves knocking them in, alternative is Pro Granite tips, glue them on, shape them up and play.

Just thought i,d update as i,ve used the press a good few times , it does a really good job on laminated and pressed tips , the layers on the phoenix tips are deffinitely more compact , i also done a dave coutts tip with good results . The quality is very good so it was well wprth the money .

Sorry Jay missed your post , yes muck one part is domed or they sell the ones for flat tips

Hi I have just purchased one of these off ebay.i will be putting a black kamui med tip in it.i was just wondering as to how much to compact it by as I dont want it to be like a stone on the end of my cue.thankyou

do it bit by bit , it all depends how much firmer you would like it , their quite firm to start with .

tip press is great when you need something to take your anger out on!
