I want to press 5 to 10 tips all at once keeping a smooth 14mm diameter. I don't want to just mash them in a vice. I would like them to still be round. What is the best way to do this?
You could buy the picone tip press. I made a dozen of my own out of aluminum. I bought 1" round stock and drilled it out to just over 14 mm. I then got a 5/8" rod and turned it so it would just go inside what I drilled out. I then put the tip in and put it in a vise to compress it. Works great and doesn't mushroom the tip.
