So just one question, does this do any damage to tips since it is essentially twisting them? Always wanted a tip press but it seems to me that you would not want to because I think it may do something to the fibers of the tip....

I could be wrong though just curious
 
Why buy a soft cheap tip and press it?? It will just keep getting harder as you play with it............. Just buy a good layered tip with the hardness level that you like.....

A lot of people like the way a pressed Elkmaster plays (including Efren) and once pressed they don't flatten or lose shape. But I agree a good layered tip will not need to be pressed and will play good from day 1.
 
Black King Tips, good you try to extend Cue-Tools assortment :)
I would only wish you modified the tip press tool because the way it works now (as well as similar devices sold in UK and China) makes me worry about the tip integrity (like already mentioned), regardless of how smooth the surface is. It is still twisting action.

What I would like to suggest is making an insert like pictured.

Note it is flat on one end and has curved shape on the other. That allows to press tips two ways - with a dome or plain flat (making the center harder than the edges). Which is more important, twisting the tip being pressed is no longer as issue.

I don't mean to rain on your parade but your statement is not entirely true. I hope you understand and that I don't mean to break any rules by doing so.

I'm sorry to say that your statement, "Cue-Tools Tip Press is the only press of it's kind" is not entirely true. The old models are all over eBay but I bought one from Barringer for $15 and he has the new and improved one with the flat plates on both ends. Works great!

Good to know because I didn't find anything like it when I searched. But thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for your input. I was planning on making one with a concave insert but, to me that defeats the purpose of pressing. If the center is still softer than the edges it will still flatten or mushroom after playing. We are not talking about an item that is going to sell thousands or even hundreds of units per year so I didn't want to invest a lot of time and money for such a specialized item. This is just a simple tool for those who want to easily be able to press a tip. I have pressed thousands of tips with this type of press and can assure you there is no twisting of the tips. I just took a layered tip and drew lines vertically on it to see if there was any distortion or twist and could not visibly see anything of the sort. As always with any of my products they have an unconditional money back guarantee so you are safe to try it and if it doesn't work as advertised you get your money back no questions asked.
