This is the same advice I have.
yes.....its not your not the tip....these scenarios when you have faced off and bla bla bla bla bla......its the ferrule.
Oh ALSO
alot dont know this but no glues really stick to tightbond and the wood glues like that worth a dam!
if you can get tightbond mostly off then damp the surface for a bit ,then it adheres to itself ok....
epoxy doesn't really stick to it well, neither do other glues.....CA works best but it is weak too.
5min epoxy sucks for tip installs.....i use contact cement before i use that crap on a tip......didn't even stick to the wrap on a cue i got that was globbed all over it and never turned down. was able to take it off the wrap without damaging the wrap.....sooo that al li gotta say about that.
also you can run into issues if your lathe isn't set up proper on the gibs and such, if its got a little twist on the carriage, and say your facing off a really hard phenolic or if you have lot of backlash and such, the tool could be loose, or it didn't press evenly when gluing.....the tool can cut the side walls then dive back in pretty easily when it hits the maple if things are loose etc.....thats why when you see a guy doing tips by hand with no tools and the ferrules end up with round shoulders as they can keep the tool flat so they are always catching edge first.
also good idea to do depending on tip type, can scratch tip bottom coat with thin ca, dry, rescratch and now glue again and install, helps seep ino the bottom fibers and CA bonds very very well to itself.
food for thought
happy fouth
