Arrow-fix tool...works great, anyone else try it? Tapers too

[Overspined]

I needed to replace a woodchuck that crapped out on me and decided to try the Arrow-fix.  It does a very nice, precise taper. My only complaint is if the arrow is not really close to the size it should be, or the finish too thick, the arrow doesn't want to fit into the guides.  
The fixing mechanism is amazing. You just can't believe how easy it is and the strength of the joint.  It took watching the utube video to see how it's done, but is really cool. I have used  wood glue and epoxy successfully, came out straight and strong.

Great to know, I was wondering about it!! Do you have pics of your fixed arrows?
Thank you for the tip!

oups..double post....

I'll take pics. The joint is hard to see unless two different color shafts are joined. Just keep the grain consistent.

The arrow-fix booth will be at the Kalamazoo Traditional Expo 2012. There you can see the system live and in color :-))
We are using this repair method since 1998 and we made it easy for people without a lathe to do it at home.

Since I live in the boonies, I won't be at Kazoo....
But maybe an other time!!

David, what do you want to know?
I sell the arrow-fix here in the US as field representantive. The maker is a friend of mine. I also sell the tool with stainless steel sockets only, because the aluminum sockets get damaged easily if you want to do little hardwood footings.

I may buy some hardwood shafts in kalamazoo for footings using this system, any suggestions on wood type to bond to cedar? 11/32" tapered shafts is what I typically use.

Check with allegany mountain and get some purple hearts, that would have a great contrast and strength.  He may have some Ipe too.
