Woodchuck Power Taper Tool / Anyone use them/

[2fletch]

I have a Woodchuck that hasn't been used for a while and is using up limited space. I tried to find out what they were currently selling for with no results. Anyone know anything about them and if they are still being sold?

They are not being made any more I bought one here for $75 it was almost new I have seen them posted for $100.

FWIW, I was never really happy with the Wooddchuck.  I thought it gave inconsistent results.  Sometimes the alignment of the arrow points after tapering the shafts wasn’t all that great.  I brought this up here on TradGang some years ago, and don’t remember reading anything that helped me to solve my problem.  However, there were a number of responses from people who thought it did a good job, so maybe it was just me.

 I still own and use my woodchuck bought a long time ago.  Once I got it set up properly it has done a beautiful job for me.

As David Mitchell stated once set up the are great. I am actually trying to purchase one or even 2 if the deal is correct so that I can set one for nocks and the other for a slightly lipped point taper. They usually go for around 100.00 bucks or more used.

I've had one for a lot of years. Mine gives good results and I'm really glad I bought it way back. I won't be giving it up.

Thanks David Mitchell, and everyone,for your help. I got great results from this one, but now don't use wood arrows or make them for others. As much as I hate to part with it, I just don't have the space to do all that I want.

David Mitchell, did you ever fish in Diamond Lake in Providence, Ky." The biggest bass that I have ever seen resided there.

If you are selling it mate I’ll take it !

I have one and love it.  It does help if you hold the arrow down firmly near the sanding disc as you turn it and slowly push it forward.

[David Mitchell]

Don, I don't think I ever fished Diamond Lake--but at my age my memory is not real reliable. I wasn't much into fishing in those days. I'll be in Providence this weekend for my 61-year PHS class reunion.  Can't believe it's been that long. Several old classmates have passed on but I sure am looking forward to being back at the old stomping grounds for a bit.

Thanks for the help. There were at least 4 of you who expressed an interest in the Woodchuck, and I excepted one offer. I really didn't know that they had quit making them. They are a great asset to arrow building. i hate to get rid of it, but it's part of adjusting.
Again, thanks,

I built one like this Clay Hayes unit. Pretty cheap if you have, or can get a sander used.

[Roy from Pa]

Yup they are very easy to make...

If you already have a table saw then your set.  Just switch the blade for a ten inch sanding disk, and make your self a board with the  11 1/2 degree and 5 degree angle strips on it and your ready to go.  Might take all of half an hour to get set up.
