Educate me on aluminum arrow swaging.

[Holm-Made]

Hi I'd like to be equipped to do this in my shop as I and my family shoots aluminum quite a bit.  I know there are different ways to do this such as spinning the shaft while compressing.  

Please explain the process and point me in the right direction in getting set up to do this.  I'm talking about swaging the point end of the arrow 5 degrees.  

Thanks,  Chad

It has been been a long time since I have seen anything, but you might check YouTube, or contact Easton.

I would be interested in buying swaged shafts.

I'd like to be able to swage my own shafts on the point end also.

I've thought about using Easton swagged arrows at the nock end turning the shaft around and using the swag end for glue on BHs and getting a super unibushing and S- nock for the nock end.

Just a thought

If you do not find what you are looking for PM me.  I can get you in touch with a guy who developed equipment and did them professionally for many years.

The nock and point end are different tapers, 5 and 11 degree I believe....

Well, there goes that idea.
Kinda wondered why more people weren't doing it.
