Bitzenburger help
« on: July 19, 2011, 09:11:00 PM »
Does anyone know what size allen wrench is needed to change a Bitzenburger fletching jig from 3 to 4 feather fletch?    :dunno:  
Would also like to know what size is used to adjust the feather degree because at the moment I've just been using pliers and its causing some wear.

Thanks,
Ari

I'm sure Eugene is correct for his Bitz.  However, I have old and new Bitz's that have different allen sizes.  Best to just spring for a set of allens in US sizes.  Probably cheaper than buying a couple of single allens anyway.

Yes it is handy to have both sets of allen wrench sizes.

Sears has nice allen wrench sets---both Sae and Metric.  They "fold up and fit in your pocket too.

Just a dumb question, can you get SAE in the land down under? If not those are going to be some expensive allens.
