The processes I’ve read about are:
For bonded tips, the stylus tip is first bonded with a cyanoacrylate glue to a metal or ceramic shank that in turn is either glued to the surface of, or mounted through a hole in, the cantilever and secured with glue.
For nude styli, the shank of the single piece stylus/shank is usually mounted, and glued, through a hole in the cantliver. The best contructions I’ve seen show the passed through shank of the stylus on the other side of the cantilever. That seems to be the most robust and durable means to secure the stylus/cantiveler assembly. Glue is always used to secure the assembly.
