Homemade shaft tapering jig
«

A couple of years ago I saw a home made tapering jig for wood arrow that was very cool. It was basically two pieces of aluminum angle iron with sandpaper on the inside walls and a shaft chucked up and run up into the gap.
I know there is one on the build along section but its not the one I saw before. Anyone have links that the one from a while ago?
Thanks,
Stickman

Be sure to wear saftey glasses with that one. I've blown up several shafts using that jig before and sends splinters in every direction. dino

that is the same one that's on the build along section of this site. There was on like it a couple of years ago and in my keyword searchs I keep coming up with a link that is no longer working.
Can anyone bring that link back up or locate the source?
Thanks.

Traxx tapered a dozen shafts with mine this weekend in about 20 min. Be careful, but they work well. I use drill bits to space between the 11/32 and 5/16 ends just so you have an idea on where you're starting.

Could this be it?

It isn't a couple years old, is about 5 months, so it may not be the one.

Onemississipp, that isn't it. It turns out that the one eveyone has been referring to is the correct one. I don't know what I was thinking about.
Thanks.
