Try this How-to fom Rob.

I think the pics on page 6 show what it should like like pretty good. You can adjust the in/out of the jig where your feather clamp attaches (usually the magnet part).  Make sure the clamp it perpendicular to the shaft in the front AND back.  As the clamp rotates around the shaft, that area should still be perpendicular to the shaft.  Then you fletch will be centered and sticking out at a 90 degree angle its entire length as it rotates down the shaft.

If it dont look right, take a razor blade, scrape it off and try again.  You will get the hang of it.
