My own premium treated tips I have currently 8 of the medium firm and 7 hard, These tips are 13mm and retain a good hight as seen in the pictures. PayPal only 2 for $15 shipped PM for PayPal info. Takes a bit to make them but I am continuing so I will be bumping posts once there are more than what I have stocked. I also have some treated Lepros same price medium firm hit but cut a bit lower.
These tips should be installed on a lathe on low speed with a sharp new blade, 700rpm is my sweet spot, keep sides cool with a bit or water or spit, then finish with sandpaper 400grit then 1000, burnish with paper towel and spit, I don't recommend leather burnishing, finish the top of the tip with 220 then up to 800, do not over heat.
