Get the Bitzenberger and be done with it. The best there is and will last forever.
Ditto!

Make sure you get the correct clamp for the fletching you plan to use e.g., right or left fletch, helical, straight fletch, offset fletch. Also, regardless the quality of the jig, I have found that the degree of offset or helical that is obtainable and have the feather/vane still make complete contact with shaft, is often far less than the manufacturers claim you can obtain.

Additionally the diameter of the shaft you use will also set limitations on how much offset and helical you can use. I use straight and a 1 - 2 degree offset. You can offset with the Bitz jig STRAIGHT clamp. I believe Bitz claims you can obtain up to a 6 degree offset. No way for me. I shoot a 2315 shaft, and a 2 degree offset is the best I can get and still have complete fletch contact.
