Taper jig
Pappy:
Good idea,I have one made that way but it is only about 8 inches ,I use it to tapper the knock end or barrel tapper.I don't usually tapper them if I plan on a self knock. The holes is another great idea,I need to do that to mine it gets full of dust quick.Thanks. :)

Thanks guys. I'm expecting some more shafts soon enough- think I'm going to have fun playing around :)
El Destructo:
Good Idea Keegan....but how long does the Sand paper last....and how hard is it to change out?
Pat B:
Dick Bernier has a taper jig that uses files instead of sand paper. He tapered some ash dowels that Jamie Leffler made and sent me a few years ago. They shoot very well and the finished arrows are still over 600gr. I believe Dick was having trouble with the files loading up with saw dust. He also drilled holes in the bottom to give the sawdust a place to go.
