Tip press

[itsnoteasy]

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

Did you have to say which one you want, either domed or flat, or did they just send the domed?, it's the domed one I would want.

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 .

Well, I asked you last time about that. I bought it for my brother. (He uses elk).
It works perfectly. Many thanks for your advice.

Would be pain tightening them up tiny bit at a time mind and may never be spot on with gripping two sides at a time! Ordinary vice ok masking tape the tips and slowly tighten.

I did elks in a vice and it worked well, in fact very well, but I just liked the ides of these presses keeping the nice dome shape or even creating one on the tip.
Well I took the plunge and ordered one.

I'm a bit late entering this thread.. I'm just curious to know if a compressed tip plays ( from the get go ) similar to a non compressed tip that's been 'played in'. Have you had a knock yet with the compressed tip hotpot?

[Inoffthered]

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

LOL, aye.

washed?
not heard of anyone washing tips before as usually I would keep water away from the leather
can you explain this please

Yes i have a few of them muck , tried a phoenix , kamui , elk and coutts tip , happy with the results apart from one phoenix where i over tightened the press and the tip was too hard and took all the elasticity out of the tip .

How long do you leave them in there for? I've got an elk in one of the master cue pressers. is 6 hours enough to get a good one?
