Use whatever method you want to try and straighten it... when it snaps off, you can use the Tormek to grind in a new one. ;)  (That is probably what most likely will happen).

I LOVE IT!  It isn't a matter of IF, just a matter of WHEN. 

I didn't respond initially, wanting to hear from others first.  It has only happened to me once, but then I have only tried to straighten a bent tip once :o   

And, yes, the Tormek was most useful for grinding in the new tip.
