Does anyone know where I can buy one of these ??
Presumably for swaging aluminum arrows right?
Or do you want some more "swag" in your life?
I don't know what happened to R&J archery out of Montana, but they had a compression swager and put our very nice shafts. If you want to spin-form swage I believe you can do those with a power drill but am not really sure of the how part. Sorry I can't be of more help...

To Tim; and other interested parties here are some pics of a Swager. (http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x132/recurvehunter_2007/P1020117.jpg)Here is the clamp Note the holes are marked to aluminum arrow sizes. (http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x132/recurvehunter_2007/P1020116.jpg) Insert and tighten arrow in the appropiate hole , leave approximately 7/8" sticking out and position the clamp on drill press bed. (http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x132/recurvehunter_2007/P1020120.jpg) The actual Swager is the little drum sander looking thing on the right, install in drill press & set drill press to turn @ about 1100 RPM , i also use some lubricant like STP . the hole at the top of swager is foe venting. (http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x132/recurvehunter_2007/P1020119.jpg) This pic shows the other end of swager that has a 5 Degree taper machined into it. The swager is made of D2 steel which has a high Chrome content. :campfire:
My Dad had a block made by a metal shop and then he used a guide with a drill press.
Tim; You have a PM.
