Kim, I think live cutting is the way to go. It is rare that I use a blade these days. I can also dial in the radius that the customer wants. I am using a diamond wing cutter, but I believe that there are very well priced 2 tooth diamond cutters available now. Used in the kitchen cabinet manufacturing industry. The ones I am aware of are all 12mm or 1/2 inch shanks. I got an early video clip trimming a blue diamond tip for a snooker cue.

I have a lexan guard and a vacuum collector on it now, with a new headstock. I also made a Vee block to trim regular cue tips.
I think that tip is one of Jeffs Milk duds.

Pretty interesting setup. I have bought one of those six wing cutters from Chris, hopefully the deluxe lathe and accessories wil be here in a couple of weeksKim, I think live cutting is the way to go.

Layered tips
Yes I use a live cutter on layered tips,
seems to work better then any other method I have tried.
Do you use live cutting on layered tips too?
I'm getting my Kress mount this week, I'm gonna experiment with live cutting. I have seen a video from dzcues, where he uses a carbide end mill bit to trim tips and ferrules.
Gonna be fun to try
