Arrow-fix for foreshafting?

To do the socket cut, you chuck the whole unit in a drill, and the whole thing spins as you push the shaft into the cutting bit.. Then it has two pencil sharpener type cutters on the other end for tapering points or nocks.

I checked out the Arrow-fix video and it's looks like a really nice tool. If I was still making arrows I believe I'd invest in one. I've repaired hundreds upon hundreds of arrows over the years doing it the old fashion way using your typical two-winged foot. IMO, you're better off to go ahead and affix a hardwood foot on soft wood shafts when first building your arrows...….Art

An arrow fix is a nice tool.
The disadvantage is that the adhesive surface is quite small and the bonding has to be done with epoxy.
It is very good to repair arrows if the point breaks off. Foreshafting longer as 4 inch, I wouldn't do with the tool.
Hawkdancer:
The price tag is scarey! Probably worth the investment for a younger person, though. I think I will learn the old way first. What is the safe and practical length for a footer? And how does it affect spine? Thanks,
Hawkdancer
