What is Arrow-Fix
reliable, fast, economical

Arrow-Fix is a tool to work on wood and bamboo shafts. It works quasi like a pencil sharpener and a drill in one. With a taper and an inner cone, it is easy to repair or optimize the shafts.
It creates a repair joint by making a taper which perfectly fits into a tapered and drilled bore.
Arrow-Fix can be used with a power drill or by hand. It is a portable tool and can be used out in the field.

The method
The conventional method of repair can sometimes not withstand the shear force caused upon impact, thus resulting in breakage upon the repaired area. With conventional means, shaft repair involves applying large amounts of glue to a lengthy sharp angled splice joint running along a portion of the arrow shaft.

It is not possible for shear force to damage an Arrow – Fix repaired spot. Arrow – Fix is based on a conical joint principle where no shear force can occur.
The conical repaired area is very minimal in depth and the visible repaired joint would be around 1/25th of an inch, meaning that the needed quantity of wood and glue is at a minimum.
Shafts can be repaired on the whole length up to the fletching.
To align the repaired shaft is easy because of its conical joint principle it is self aligning.
It is easy to combine different materials and different diameters like hardwood footing on bamboo shafts.
To repair barreled shafts is a piece of cake.

What Arrow-Fix can do
Arrow-Fix can be used in the repair of various wood types including bamboo and is able to repair three separate shaft diameters (5/16", 11/32" and 23/64"). It implements the following functions:

Cuts nock tapers
Cuts point tapers.
The conical drill bit cuts an inside taper enabling it to fit with an outer cone for the arrow repair.
Has a V-block for the arrow to rest on while the glue fully cures in the repaired area.
