Title: Cresting lathes
Post by: formerbutcher on January 10, 2007, 01:19:00 PM

I just got my new Junior crester and i'm having problems getting my arrows to not wobble. I even put an alum. one on it and it still seemed to wobble. Any pointers from the pros ?? Thanks FB

Its the gromet that the arrow sits in.  IF the arrow is in it centered then it will flop toward the end thats in it.  Turn your arrow around and stick the point end in there and move the brace pad out towards where you want to crest that should eliminate the wobble.  If not get a razor blade and make the slits on the gromet a bit long that should relieve some pressure on the shaft and allow it to find the center a little easier.
