Slots for vellum
DC:
Is there a slick way of cutting the slots for vellum fletching. I did it once with my Dremel but I'm too shaky this time.
PatM:
You could clamp the arrow in a jig with a slot that will provide a guide the cutting wheel.
Or clamp the dremel and slide the arrow up to it like a tablesaw.

I was trying to avoid making yet another jig but I can't see a way around it. Getting old sucks ;D but it's way ahead of plan "B"
DC:
Done. Just have to figure out how to space the slots at 60° consistently.

That was quick! I made a jig that works with my lathe. The old Turkish Flight arrows have the vanes glued to the surface, but a slot makes it a lot easier and is more secure.
