Dowel maker
Pat B:
Not me Dana. My set up is simular to yours. I've only made a few shafts from square stock. Most of my arrows are made from hardwood shoots. To me, a good band saw is a more valuable piece of machinery. Looks like you got a good 'un! Did you get it from Grizzley? Pat
Agbowyer:
Bill let me know how that works out. I'm gonna try making one like Dana made for now. In the way of Bandsaws, I got a Jet 16" 1 1/2 hp about three years ago. It costs a little more($800), but I haven't found anything I can't do with it yet. Comes with fence mitre and roller guides. You can use it on 110 V or 220V.
DanaM:
Whoops sorry Pat got the wrong guy :-[
I got my saw at woodworkers depot in Green Bay, WI

I have been very fortunate to acquire a commercial dowel maker from a friend. It works off a drill and will make dowels from 1" down to 1/4". The photo shows an Osage dowel . This unit will spit out shafts almost on a production basis. Sorry I don't have a selection of shafts to show but it will cut almost anything that grows if you can get it square.
