Glue-on Broadheads and chamfer tools

[gvdocholiday]

Does anyone here use an inside chamfer tool to clean up the opening of their glue-on broadheads?  

I have some Zwickeys that I love but I just feel that the opening is not very consistent from head to head.  Makes it awful tough to get them spinning well during the mounting and alignment process.

I was thinking of this one here:

I run a point cleaner through which is made from 80 grit sandpaper.  It doesn't cut like a chamfer tool might, but it does clean up the extra paint.  

They are displayed on the bottom of this page.

I mount a point cleaner on a screw in field point then I put the point in the chuck of a drill motor.  It does a decent job of cleaning out any broadhead or field point.  Leather gloves are HIGHLY recommended for holding the broadhead, if not pliers.

To clean out the inside of a Zwickey just get a metal bore brush(for gun barrel cleaning 410 works)and attach it to a drill and have at it.

Been shooting Zwickeys of all designs for more than 30 years.  Never had a problem with the taper or getting the heads on straight.  In fact, I've found them to be among the most consistently tapered and easily mounted heads out there.

This is because the opening is not totaly round but a little bit oval.
Place the glue on insert head up on a flat surface,put the broadhead on the insert and with a hammer hit the tip of the broadhead two or three times.

I use my dremel tool on low setting and a metal reamer to clean. I find that if I don't clean the paint out they will not stay glued on anything for long.

I've used chain saw sharperner bit on my dremil. In and out and then clean with acetone.

I have used Zwickeys of various years and cannot identify with the problem described-is it possible the problem is your taper?

I use a hand chamfer tool that chamfers rife case cartridge mouths to chamfer aluminum shafts after I cut them.
