Title: Arrow Fix Jig?
Post by: stringstretcher on May 23, 2014, 05:12:00 AM
Has any one on here used the Arrow Fix Tool to repair their arrows or make footed arrows with it?  I would love to hear you comments about the jig?

Works like a dream for me on both hard and soft woods. I only use it by hand but it can be put on a drill. It also has knok and point tappers built into it as the point tapper is the one that goes into the drill bits whole. Also comes with all three shaft size guides. At least the one I ordered did.

Works great for me. I like the portability and ease of use. It doubles as a taper tool and you can get it with guides for all three shaft sizes. I use it by hand but it does have a drill attachment if you want. Comes with a screw tube to keep all the parts together. And all my splices are holding so far. I have had it about a year now and have repaied about 20 arrows with it so far.

Roland is the go-to guy on this tool.
I looked at it last year at Kzoo and would like to add one to my shop someday. Get the stainless components, they wear better.

Yeah I've seen Roland use at one of our local shoots once. If I shot wood arrows I would find invest in one for sure.

I still foot arrows back together the old way but it looks like a neat tool to use.

Works very well for me, have saved lots of old arrows that I had broken the front inch or two off. I have the drill bit also for drilling out the middle of bamboo shafts, which is great.
