1st threaded ferrule

I agree with Chris that a small tenon will work fine.
I use that method with White Diamond tips to help stand up to any side force from a miscue on the break.
The extra strength of that shoulder makes a difference.

When replacing the tip how would you go about it knowing there was a small tenon there.
Would you not face it off flat and redo the tenon?
If you installed a new tip flat faced would it make any difference that there was a tenon on the last tip?

I have been using the Lexan clear plastic for a break tip and find the hit very much like a White Diamond.

I think that if someone wants to use a tenon tip install method that they should really drive home the point to the customer to remind them or the next repairman what was done. If it gets faced off flat and another tenon is then cut it continues to shorten the cue. If putting a leather tip back on flat faced, it would not matter that there was tenon sticking out before.
