This is one of their jump/break shafts with an orange all in one tip/ferrule. Don't know what it is made of, but seem to shatter pretty well. My customer went to jump a shot and chunks flew off and that's what they got when they were looking at it after. Got to say haven't seen that happen when...

Usually, sending them an email or FB message should ALWAYS be the first step before posting here, It allows the merchant to respond to your question, without the merchant being made to look bad. I know everyone else, myself included, would like that courtesy, if we were the provider of the goods.

pictures would help

all I am asking is to backup what you said was easy to do......a video showing it could help others to do it themselves......why not? I do all tip and repairs on lathes but there are some DIY'ers that could use the video of you using a belt sander to do the job, to be able to do it themselves. I...

I would love to see a video showing using a belt sander and files....I think it would help show how easy it really is. Dave

Funny how none of the replys have told the OP how to do a composite tp by hand, which they themselves are basically saying is easy.......(and they only mention concerning a leather tip.....and have not mentioned a composite tip) but that was not his question....where are the step by step...

You are correct, as far as a normal leather tip goes, but My posts have been made concerning the Original Poster's question...Can he install a White Diamond Break tip without a lathe. So far only 2 of us have addressed the Actual question.

Not saying it cannot be done, especially with leather....but doing a White diamond as the OP asked about, is a tough one to start to learn with. Biggest danger IMO, is damaging the ferrule while trying to make it flush with it. Another big point is that the ferrule MUST be flat and the tip...

And....that's why it's ask the cuemaker forum, not ask the diy'er forum, especially if you haven't any experience in this topic. Doing a regular leather or layered tip can be quite a bit to learn, and after a learning curve, may look good....BUT a real break tip like the white diamond, G10...

Depending on the thickness of the ferrule, it can work well, or create a molten mess. I machine it down until I can just see the threads thru the plastic, then use a heat gun to remove the rest, usually can unscrew it. I also use the heat gun and a pick to remove any epoxy that is on the...

I seal the end grain with a thin CA, then hit it with accelerator. Then lightly reface and use system 3, 5 minute epoxy and the glue line issue seems resolved. I use the 5 minute as in my opinion, ferrules need to be changed at times. I thread mine, and have never had one come loose down the...

Great to hear. Did he offer any explanation as to how this may have happened?

I have never had that happen, only have had it get thicker if the small container wasn't sealed well. I pour into separate containers so it's easier to stir before use. The only thing I know that can make it cure like that is when mixed with MEKP. Call and ask for Gary, he would be the guy to...

first, are you doing it yourself? If so, what are your abilities for such a project? Second, what is the actual cue brand? pictures are better in this type of question. This is NOT a DIY kinda youtube thing if you want it to come out properly. It will involve refinishing the whole cue to have...

your SOOOOO full of shit....you went a full day defending your so called test...and basically stated that because you said it...it was true....but ...wait there's more....you got called on it and still defended your claim even telling the one that brought this material to market to do the same...

just post your Fb link where we the commoners, can gaze upon your great accomplishments.....Please Oh Great one! your so full of s#$T BTW Joey has been a big exporter of his cues for yrs....if you ever bothered to look.....bet you don't even Know who His Mentor was......

your the guy that said tomahawk 'shattered' in your test, and when you were questioned by the guy that knows basically EVERYTHING about that product...you tried to bamboozle him, even telling him to do the 'test' you did....even though you offered NO PROOF you did the test in the first...

First...That's the best you can do???? expected better crap I guess. All one has to do is use their phone, touch the camera thingy and the the video thingy and Whola....a video! Just like you shoulda done on the 'test' you did when you called out j2pac on his product..... SMH. Second, Don't want...

Didn't know that....thanks.

As far as low deflection material, Isopast/tomahawk/juma all work well, depending on how you build your ferrules. Have not used the Hydex. Basically as other's have pointed out, it's not just the ferrule material and thicknesses etc. One has to actually build things and try it in different...
