I too like the Ulitimate Tip Tool®. It creates business for me replacing ferrules severely scratched by the god-awful tool.

I did that to a couple of my ferrules before I figured out what was going on. What a terrible idea!
So what is the best product for trimming a mushrooming tip? I mean a tool that I can afford and can carry in my cue case.
 
worminater i will bet you $10,000 that centeniels are made by aramith. brunswick makes balls, like Mcdonald's makes automobiles, they don't. greedy brunswick is the only "distributer" of centiniel balls, thus, that's why you hear centiniel balls by brunswick billiards, bullshit, it's made by aramith, distributed by brunswick. hope i cleared this up.

Bernie,

Wow, you sure do get upset about billiard balls. Brunswick owns the Centennial trademark, so I guess that's Aramith's fault.

Aramith makes Centennials. Brunswick puts their name on them.

First, when I install a tip, I slightly taper it from the ferrule to the tip end to reduce the mushroom effect. Not much, maybe 1-2 degrees.
Second, if you're NOT using a layered tip, the Porper Mushroom Tip Burnisher? for about $7.00 works fairly well. It also has a slight taper.
If you are using a layered tip, I suggest carefully burnishing with a dollar bill, matchbook, piece of paper bag, etc., after slightly moistening the edge of the tip. Use caution however; do not excessively twist the layers.

Thanks for the advice. but...
I was actually talking about removing extra material. I've used the Porper burnisher. It tends to stack the tip upward, making it a little softer. Also, the flattens out again quickly. I regard burnishing as a way to harden the sides of a tip after cutting it to shape.

The correct way is to trim the mushroom on a lathe then re-burnish. Hand held tools create too many trimmed ferrules.
