I just recieved a bitzenburger jig with a straight clamp on ****. The description said it was a right clamp but came with a straight clamp. My question is this, can i still fletch feathers with a helical on this clamp and can i use RW and LW feathers with it?

You can fletch feathers with a helical, but you will need a helical clamp to do it. Helical clamps are either right or left wing so to do both wings you'd need one clamp each.
Try the straight clamp with an offset and see what you think. With a properly matched shaft, it can give you all you want for stability.

with a straight clamp..u can fletch both left or right wing... but you will just have an offset..not a true helical....that is how they used to do it all the time before the helical clamps came out..

Turtle,
I agree with above. I think the Grayling clamps will work with the Bitz and are a lot cheaper. That will keep you from having to sink much more money into a project you thought was paid for.

i was told by a sales person, when purchasing an out-of-date newpaper that it was out-of-date...
i told her "i've been told i'm out-of-date, too"...
does that mean i'm up-to-date?

I found that properly tuned arrows work well with a slight offset, left wing outa a straight bitz clamp.

You can use a straight clamp with zero offset, also. As long as the front end of the fletching is not offset in the wrong direction (as in "rw feather with lw helical"), the arrow will fly well -- when the arrow is properly made/tuned.
Even straight-fletched arrows with feather fletching will spin in flight, due to the natural curvature (properties) of the feathers.
