MattE:
If you had a milling machine you could make a siral cut but I would stay with the heat and twist method using your jig. A spiral cut will violate the grain and the tips will most certainly break off.

Timmah:
Yeah no chance of getting a milling machine. I'll stick with the heat method.

Pappy:
Them are really cool arrows,Never seen any like that before.Good job. :)

Man, that is cool. Was going to ask how you did that, but sounds like a heat and twist thing. I have Dick's footing tool right now, think I'm going to go ahead and return that - don't look like I'll have time to mess with it before huntin season this year.

Timmah:
Yeah Cowboy - heat and twist. Heat em up and slowly twist the shaft around. There are a few ways of doing it. I have seen some people that spin them in a power drill using the friction to heat and the drill to twist at the same time. I cheat and use a heat gun ;-)
