RE: cresting your arrows with....
Dave,
I used to just chuck the arrow up in a clamped drill. I still use a drill but I bought one of the crester chucks,($7.50 and worth every penny), from 3rivers and use that with the drill. I use a variable speed drill and a quick grip clamp to hold the trigger at the speed I want. The drill is plugged into a power bar for the on/off switch.
