The Jo-Jan Multi is what I have ..Matter of fact I have 2 left wing...Make sure you adjust correctly to the shafts you are glueing to and do a dry run and look for any gaps and adjust as needed...I did a few 23/64 and tapered to 5/16 last ten inch's and really had to work on the jig to adjust correctly but well worth the extra time...The directions were backwards from what I read but I figured it out on my own...You only need one Jo-Jan but I'm always in a hurry and got 2...I've had other fletchers but the Jo-Jan is good for the money...Just work with it and set it...If you use the same shafts like say 2016 then you only need to set it once but if you do carbons,woody's and aluminum then you may need to adjust each time..Especially tapered woody's...That's a little more time in it...God Bless and hope we all shed light on the subject..Keefer's <")))><

I own 2 Jo-Jans.....the straight bougth brand new about 20 years ago and the left Heli about 15 years ago.  I have noticed they have gone up in price a bit,  but buy them....use them....confide in them!  You dont ever need anything else!  I dont even know how many arrows Ive done.....aluminum and wood,  all different diameters,  PERFECT!  I drill holes in the footings of mine to mount on a piece of 2x6 or 2x8 to make them heavey and wobble-proof.  Awesome jigs.....wouldnt ever need to use anything else.....wont ever get rid of mine!  They are seasoned and proven!  Now go buy one!  Try that FSdiscountarchery.com.  :thumbsup:

I've used the Jo-Jan for years and never had any problems.

All you'll need is one mono fletch. Use fletch tape and one will be just fine. Look for a used one to save some $$.

My Jo Jan is at least 35 years old and has seen lots of use.  There is simply nothing on it that can wear out, pure and simple.  You can't ask for more.  I don't know for sure, but have read that a Jo Jan will give you more helical than a Bitz if that means anything to you. I am another completely satisfied user.    :thumbsup:

Great fletcher! I've been using a jo-jan since the 1980's.   :thumbsup:
