Title: Need ideas on setting up multiple Bitzenburger fletching jigs?
Post by: rluttrell on May 15, 2018, 07:40:06 PM
Hi guys,
I need some help on setting up multiple Bitzenburger jigs. I would like them have the fletching's set up the same on each. Is there a tool I can use on one and be able to copy it to the second one and so on...

Thanks for your help

I prefer the jojan multi for this reason.

There is a trick you can use.     set it up how you want on the first then with a shaft on the jig put the clamp on and then use a sharpie or something along the edge of the clamp to trace it.  Then you just use the shaft and line the rest of the Jigs up with that line.

That sounds like an idea. Thanks for the reply

this where using fletch tape or CYA glue makes fletching so much easier and faster, where you only need one jig ... or perhaps a separate jig per style of fletching, or arrow type.  back in the day, in the 60's, i had 6 bitz jigs, whereas today i use only 3 polycarb jigs.
