Seems quite a few people are footing the end of their carbons with aluminum.
Thought I'd start a reference thread for shaft brands / sizes and which aluminum size works best when footed over them.
The only shaft I personally have footing experience is the Beman MFX 400.
I found the 2018 fits perfect (snug) over this brand and shaft size.
Please add to the thread if you've found a good combo.
Beman MFX 400 = 2018
ST Axis 400= 1916
CE Terminator Lite 6075= 2117
I think there's some info out there on this but I'll add to what you've offered. On the Axis 400's I'm using 1916 for what I consider a perfect fit.. However on Beman Classic 400's had to go to your 2018 due to their larger diameter.
I really like footing these shafts for several reasons. I'm fortunate to have a lathe and after J-B weld gluing the aluminum pieces on I chuck the arrow in the lathe and face the footing so it is perfectly square. Makes broadhead alignment a snap! I'm sure that the footing will make the carbon shaft more durable than it already is. Great arrows !!
I believe CX Heritage 150s are a perfect fit into a 2213. I would imagine that the 250s should fit too.
Beman MFX Classic's
500 = 2020
400 = 2018
340 = 2016
cx Heritage 250's: - 2117 or 2216 (so I have been told)
Carbon Express 4560/5060/6075= 2216.
Arrow Dynamics Traditional's = 2413.
23/64 wood shafts------------= 2512.
This should cover the gammit

2117 over the the Heriatge 150 as well as a 2216. The 2213 will work also but I did not have any to try. Shawn

I've found that for CX Heritage 250's a 2216 shaft fits perfectly.
This would be cool to have a compete list of footing sizes. Here was what I have compiled with the blanks someone might file in for us.

Great thread, great info!
I found a 2219 to fit on my old Beman Classic 340's pretty well.

Anybody ever footed GT's?
I'd like to get a bit heavier weight arrow but; the 35/55's at 28.5" are too good with 100 brass/125 head...without footing.
I did a little searching tonight and updated the list a bit. Let me know if something is incorrect or needs to be added and I will get er corrected. dino

Carbon Tech Cheetah 35/60 = 2013
I just (this week) footed some GT 7595s with 2216 pieces. I had to line them up to get them over the inserts (I footed after fletching). Pretty good fit.

Can someone confirm for me that Easton axis traditional shafts in 400 and 500 spine both work with a 1916.
Note that axis and axis trads are different external diameters.
