4" low profile banana cut..Which chopper?

[Zradix]

Hello everyone.

I want to make up some 4" low profile naners for a 4 fletch 90˚ set up.

I'm thinking I want to end up with 1/2" high feathers.

3 rivers sells two different profile naner choppers.

Both are too long so I will need to raise the base of the chopper's feather "guide"

I'm thinking I should buy the taller profile chopper.
I think the low profile one would leave me with a REALLY LOW profile after adjusting it to 4".

What are your thoughts and/or experience with this oh wise gang?

Thanks

To get the 1/2" tall at 4" you will need the low profile chopper.  Here is a link in the How To forum of how Rob did it:

And another by Rob from what looks like the high back profile, yielding a taller fletch - go down a few photos:

Here is mine from a low profile.  I cut a replacement fence out of aluminum so that I could adjust it for length and height:



At 4" long, mine came out a shade under 1/2" tall but in a four fletch, stabilized fine.  Since the first ones, I adjusted for a bit longer feather to get the height up to 1/2".  Enjoy!

I have glued skinny skewers to lower the profile of feathers in my chopper. The chopper gets rid of the extra skewer and the profile is easy to adjust.
