Arrow Taperer
« on: September 04, 2019, 02:27:42 pm »
Hello everyone!
This is my first post.   I was looking to fix some broken tips the other day and I starting fooling around with a way to get a 5-degree taper.  I didn't want to wait to get one so I put this contraption together.  It took me about an hour and it works great!  This is just the sanding end of my very cheap wood lathe.

Thanks for the welcome!   Feel free to use this idea.  I was very easy to do.

I bought a cheap taper tool from Cabelas seems to work good.

I use the disc on my belt sander with a simple jig for a 5deg and 11deg taper set up. 5deg for points, 11deg for nocks, although I don't use plastic nocks much anymore. Self nocks for me.
