The disc-cutting of lays on Vandoren etc mouthpieces (perhaps not the new BD5s which appear CNCed) leaves a dip in the tip rail. So does it also create rail tilt? If that is the case what effect will the tilt have, as its over the whole length of the side rails?

I’d have though it must be possible to flatten out the disc itself at the start or end of the cut (depending which end of the lay the cut starts at) so the disc was at the necessary angle for a flat tip rail. Maybe a step too far for the price of these mouthpieces.

Given the dip in the tip rail does have an effect, I’d love to know whether all the top players who apparently use B40, 5RV etc have had those hand finished to remove the dip and perhaps other imperfections.
