Diy pointed soldering tip

I am still practicing and experimenting.
Found some ready made 0.7mm and 0.5mm at last.

Again, what task are you doing? It’s unlikely that a superfine tip is actually the right tool, as I and others are saying.

Tried removing this type of IC by desoldering until i got fedup and snip them off and desolder the legs off one by one but soldering tip is too wide.
Dave:
Soldering well takes time and practice. Patience is key.
Shock:
Yes desoldering takes a lot of practice and it helps to watch others till you refine your technique. I'd recommend getting both a desoldering pump and wick/braid they are both cheap and mastering both you can do a reasonable job, it just will be time consuming.
If you are removing through hole components with the intent to reuse them with as little stress as possible or doing frequent desoldering, consider a vacuum desoldering station it can make life easier. It requires a bit of investment as the decent vacuum desoldering irons start at around $300 new.
Nerull:
I seriously doubt that any tip you're likely to find is too wide to desolder a DIP, unless it's some specialty tip.
Super fine tips are for working on really tiny things, by comparison a DIP chip is huge. You want a mid sized chisel tip for even a big knife for that.
