Tip Removal
Anybody have any hints on how to remove a tip from a cue stick?

I have the sander on my list to order from Muellers and other stuff necessary for the process. I just have not put the order in yet. You just confirmed that the sander will work and that was what I was looking for, confirmation. Once again you have the right answer. I will be trying this on some bar cues first. Thanks again. I knew I could count on Billiards-Talk and their expertise. |

That will be great, being able to Re-tip your own cues. If I could do that, I would be trying out different tips all the time, til I found one I really liked.
If I tried anything like that, the Tip would wind up cockeyed, I would have two or more fingers glued together and a blob of glue would drip down the shaft and I would wind up with the entire shaft glued to the table. I take mine to a local guy, lives about 10 minutes from my house. Post some pics when you get it all set up. |

With my better cues, I take them to Roger, the tip guy at Capone's. Since I have a supply of Sniper and Tiger tips, he'll put them on for me for $10.
With my el-cheapo Players that I use for bars, it's not worth it to pay $10 for a tip change since 5 tip changes would cost me the price of a new el-cheapo. I remove the old tips with a razor blade of a carpet knife, shaving it as close to the end of the ferrule as I can. Then I switch to the sander. It's the same as the others described here. I too put something between the clamp and the shaft to prevent indentations but you have to be careful that this padding doesn't screw up the alignment. Otherwise you might wind up with a slanted cock-eyed ferrule. I did that once. Last thing I do before gluing with superglue gel is sand the bottom of the tip by running it back and forth over some fine sandpaper. |

Glued Fingers
This is all good info. I will probably get my fingers glued together too! But the bright side of this is that it will more than likely improve my bridge.
I can take them in to get them re-tipped but I just thought it would be something else that I could learn. New things like this help me stay centered when they show me how incompetent I am with new stuff. |

I cut mine off with a pair of pvc pipe cutters. Nice smooth cut. Then I sand down the rest with fine sand paper.

There is a guy at my local hall who does this on the side. He'll change your tip and ferrule for like $15.
I need a new tip, thanks for the reminder. |
