Taper for glue on points

<< < (2/2)

Allyn T:
I had already glued them before I posted but was afraid I didn't do it right. I shot 3 arrows into my basement wall tonight and all three points stayed on the tips so I guess I did ok. The arrows themselves didn't fare so well...

Digital Caveman:
I use a bearpaw taper tool, pencil sharpener type.  They have replaceable blades, which is a big plus over the 3Rivers Archery type.

Mesophilic:
I use my belt sander as it's pretty fast.  I can usually free hand with excellent results.  If I'm on an off day, I clamp a piece of wood to the tool rest at an angle to get it right.  Same thing if I'm doing glue on nocks.

I glue on with epoxy, the gap filling properties are a bonus.  My process for gluing on is a bit of a hassle but I never lose a tip.

Allyn T:
Taper tool would have been easier for sure but I didn't know I'd be gluing on points. I like the idea of a jig for the belt sander
