All,
I am trying to make a grinder to cut nock and point tapers. It seems like harbor freight used to sell a cheap little disc sander. I can seem to find it does anybody know if they still have them or where I can find something like it?

Watch some pawn shops I have a 5" Makita that works great.
harbor fright for acheapie dremel tool. Build a mount that allows you to put a straight cut with a stop using a wood cutting bit. some have a guide that can be screwed down with modification to it, a wooden guide with a wooden stop.
They sell a small chop saw that lots of folks use. It's like a 3 inch blade
Have you seen the Woodchuck Taper Tool? Or is that whet you are hoping to duplicate?
Wonderful set-up for end tapering. I love mine.

Yes trying to duplicate something like the woodchuck taper tool.
I'll do some research. Somewhere I have plans and dimensions for a nock and taper "table" using a sanding disk in a table saw. The arrow plate whould work with a small sander on the same alignment.
I believe it was in Traditional Bowhunter in a magazine that pre-dated the current one of that name by 10 years or so. I have a pile of them somewhere.
That might work pretty well. I have a table saw but not not a sanding disc for it. I might have to look into that option. I am just trying to find an affordable method to grind point and nock tapers
Caleb, I have a used Woodchuck I was thinking of listing here on the classifieds. I have replaced it with a large custom built machine. If you are interested let me know and I'll send you a picture, etc. It works good. Just don't need it any longer.
