Dozer:
To answer your question, the jig from 3Rivers works if you make some slight modifications. The cutter they supply works, however there is a way to increase its efficiency and the quality of the cut by changing cutters. Its not difficult too do, what takes the time and patience is turning the footing round, but it can be done if you go slow and take your time.

The Traditional Bowers Bible III has a good section on making footed arrows. I believe 3 Rivers sells a footing jig @90.00, they also sell footing blanks. Hope this helps.

Aromaker--
You are spot on! Not all FOOTED shafts are the same. You better believe they are tougher than your bare shafts when built right! It's not just about looks.

Have fun Dozer I am sure you will be happy with the result. I am not so talented, and so I buy my footed shafts.
They look great, fly marvellous, and definitely break far less often than regular POC.

The jig from 3Rivers isn't bad, but it's far from perfect. A few years back a TG'er developed a really really good 4pt jig... he went by the handle "sawdust". He sold a few for $100... I paid for one and never received it... haven't heard from him since. :mad:

Like Bob said, the one 3Rivers sells is not to bad in what it does. It just takes some fine tuning and a little set up time to get it right, oh and a few tril runs as well.
I'll also add, you need a router/trimmer rather then the drill press meathod mentioned in the plans that come with the jig.
Hope this helps,
