Looking for a tip shaper with a dime radius. Looking for the one thats about 8 inches long and curved piece of hard plastic with sandpaper in it that can be interchanged. I have several new cues at home that need shaping. Also, as a side note...anyone have any suggestion on how I can start me a little side business of retipping cues...think it's possible this midget can learn a new trick? *grin*

You can make your own by cutting a piece of PVC in half lengthwise and inserting 60-80 grit sandpaper. Decide the radius of your choice, then use 1/2" or 3/4" PVC.
I started in '98 with a Willard's Tipping Maching (http://www.poolndarts.com/index.cfm/fuseAction/Catalog.Product/productID/3287.cfm?CFID=450562&CFTOKEN=3123d6ab31ef29ee-0A1B900B-D61C-4F06-B469B7C8CECA98B8) plus extra parts such as collets & cutters prior to buying a lathe. They more than paid for themselves in a short time.
