What tools for making shafts
neuse:
That is a cool looking tool.
A must have kinda thing.
loefflerchuck:
A bandsaw with a guide wastes far less wood than a table saw. It has a very thin blade.
Pat B:
I make a single bandsaw cut and open that to fit the string with a thin bladed knife(or razor) and 150 emery cloth folded over and over again until the string fits then lightly round the corners and relieve the bottom of the nock to prevent string ware at full draw.
archeryrob:
I don't use anything except for a thumb plane to reduce shaft diameter and a spine tester to measure to 2# over desired weight. The sand paper in hand to clean and drop the last two pounds.
Wooden Spring:
I posted on here some time ago a very simple jig that you can make to turn out perfect arrow shafts every time, and it's nowhere near as finicky as planer/pencil sharpener type jigs. It's not my original idea, but I thought it was really cool.
