Maybe this entire sub forum should be shut down and replaced with google?

Then you can put up a site with comments and folks can find you by googling "cranky old man, get off my lawn".

Or, it could just be understood that I was actually trying to help the guy. He chose to respond as he did for having to copy and paste the search string that I provided into google instead of having an instant answer.

Then you posting your reply........ I guess I can only say...... Way to pick a cause...... :thumbup:

a few mins only?

no milk job? or pressing till dry?

are they still soft tips or does the pressing make them more like a medium ,

i got them because wanted to try a different soft tip

That mounting bracket is from DECO cues.

Cutting Elk master tips your tool post cutting tool need to be razor sharp.
I use a router to trim all my tips now,

i have installed a number of box's over the years. They are easy to install like any tip,with elk master's you simply have to have super sharp tooling to cut them and go slow. super sharp is key because they are are soft and fibrous they tend to push off otherwise.

I press them all as soon as I get them in. They cut much better after. a little bit of a pain but it works.
