I experimented with it briefly before using it for a project on a piece of 30mm diameter EN1A. Due to inexperience and/or general mis-handling, I managed to break the insert! I've sent off for a couple of replacements, which should arrive in a few days. While I'm waiting, can anyone answer this question: How do I go about replacing the tip? I tried reversing the broken one, but it was damaged in such a way that it wouldn't (or wasn't meant to) go in that way round. Any tips (pun intended)? John

There are no clamps or screws holding the tip in place it just slots into the holder but remains loose until it cuts for the first time. The pressure applied to the tip when it cuts forces the tip into the holder keeping it in place.

I,v taken to giving it a whack with the back end of the wire scratch brush. The tip had been used and, it was a bit blunt, but a touch up with a diamond lap, it sailed through a bit of 1" scrap, but because of the width it did pull the revs down a bit (1 1/2 hp). Ian S C

1545 forum posts 484 photos	Thanks for all the replies. I think I'll take a good look at the new tips with a magnifying glass when they arrive and dig out the soft mallet. With the cost of airmail postage what it is, this could working out quite an expensive exercise. That'll teach me to be more careful and double-check everything before switching on! Regards, John
