Here is a site and an excerpt to get you started:
The first thing you should do to your tip is shape it. If you don't have a shaper yet, you can use a cue file, but a shaper cube works best. This basically takes the hard edge away and gives your cue more precise tuning possibilities. With the hard edges, if your stick hits the cue ball at an angle, you lose your shot. With a rounded edge, you have a little leeway with your angle and get more shooting surface for the cue ball stroke.

What is a good pool cue for under 30. I am looking for a 2 piece cue with a 12mm screw on tip around 19-21 ounces. It doesnt have to be a professional stick just a nice one to use for recreational use?
Pool cues are typically 13mm, and you will not find a 12mm except for the more expensive cues. The best choice is a good used cue, but you can look for a low end new cue such as Viking or Adams.
Can you use a standard pool cue to break with?
Yes, and most people do so. However, if your cue has a medium or soft tip, as many cues do, this cushions the contact with the cue ball, and lowering the force of the break. In addition, it will lower the lifespan of the cue tip drastically. The advantage of using a dedicated break cue is to be able to use a very hard tip to get as much energy into the break as possible.
