Bitzenburger jig
« on: February 04, 2010, 07:48:00 AM »
I am thinking about buying a few of these jigs
but I have a question-the ads say self centering regarding the shafts.
Now if I want to fletch different dia shafts,do I just adjust the knobs to put lines directly over both C marks and that will be top dead center  for any shaft diameter? and then adjust for offset or helical?

I fletch 5/16, 11/32 and 23/64 shafts on my bitzes with out changing the settings. I have my jigs set for maximum helical and the feather makes good contact with the shaft no matter what size I use.

I also fletch all my cane with a blitz and have no problem at all with different size shafts and the feathers lay down on the shaft great.  I also have a nock indexer on one of my blitz that lets me index each nock for orientation. Wishe they were still made.

Switched from a jojan a few years back-BIG difference!  Bitz always contacts the shaft!
