Quicky nocks

[bow101]

Find it frustrating making string nocks lately, so freakin time consuming, other stuff to be doing like the thankless job of sanding.....   First make a cut using the hack saw,  make a slight impression with the rasp and finish with the electric drill with a properly sized bit and go to town. Get 'er dun in no time.
Tell me what ya think, and if you have not tried it...............Do It..! there is no turning back.

man I don't think it takes that much time to do nocks, only takes me a few minutes apiece maybe ten total, if I do horn it takes longer got to sand them out good before they get buffed out, a neat trick to smooth them out without sanding is to heat up a 16 penny nail with a torch and burn them in, they turn black, look cool and are smooth

I have only made cross bow bolt  knocks so far but I sure would use your method
on an arrow. Pretty slick if the tools are good and sharp.
Could you do it with flint?

Slap a tile-cutting blade in your hacksaw, then clean 'em up with a twisted-up 1/8" wide strip of cloth-backed sandpaper.  Easy-peasy!

I like the way you think stringstretcher. I'm stealing that idea

I use a tile cutting bit on a dremel tool. This allows me to do an even self-nock and round it out in less than a minute. Then just clean it up with some 220 grit sandpaper. Can do a dozen nocks in usually well under ten minutes.

I just use the Band Saw and clean it up witha needle rasp. Real quick.

I use a single bandsaw blade kerf then open it with a thin, sharp knife and emory cloth folded over and over again until it fits my served bow sting.

If I meant Arrow nocks then I would of posted in the Arrow section.  I was referring to the bow tip string nock.

sorry bow101 for not reading more closely.  I deleted the arrow nock post of mine so as not to confuse any one else

 I guess I did not explain myself right.

I'm not sure I understand how a drill comes into play, but it sounds like you are making it more complicated than it has to be.  A tile cutter and a piece of sandpaper make short work of the string grooves.

HAHAHA, I was wondering why so many people were confused...still am I suppose. I used a file on the ones I've done. Which ain't many. dp

[warpath]

Still use the same process for bowstring grooves.
