    The ruby tip is very thin, I used a jewelers saw blade and cut
    around the end until the tip came off, then I filed the end smooth
    very carefully to remove as little metal as possible, just making the
    angle correct for the shape of the flame, and use a burr to clean the
    inside of the hole after sawing and filing. The tips are about $12
    each, and a #5, 6, and 7 are worth the investment if you ruin the
    ruby tips. When you do this, when you light the tip, it starts out
    quite a bit larger and it hisses, more when not adjusted right.
