My arrows have the brass inserts and I figured I would need some down the road and rather than buy 1 dozen a time I played around and made some.Not perfect and carbon copies of one another but they are spot on for weight and they spin test great.I have used 4 of them and am pleased so far.They cost about $1.50 a piece to buy with shipping and 4' of brass stock cost me about $25.With my free time and my dad has alot of that on his hands I think it's worth while.What the group think?

Some of them look like they would put the tip out there further and therefore the arrow will be longer. IDK, but it's a lot easier for me to just buy them, however, I wish I knew how to make my own. Nice work.
I'm thinking about getting some heavy, stiff spined shafts for my long bow and use 100gr inserts and 200gr heads, just to have a little more umph when the arrow connects

To be honest not real sure! It's one of those little shop jobs that only has about a 8" throw and maybe 24-30" deck! Nothing fancy,has the drill press on the end that uses the same drive as lathe that you kick out with spindle on end.It's a heavy little critter and dad has turned out lots of little projects in the 10 or so years he's had it.

I have something similar at work. Keep your eye out for a deal on a 1" travel dial indicator with a magnetic base. I put one on the carriage and one on the cross slide. It'll make machining quicker, easier and a lot more accurate.
