Friday, I picked me up a bench top metal lathe. Finally got a chance to really do a serious project run on it today, and built a custom broadhead adapter for my Jerry Hill broadheads. The adapter is total glue in the broadhead/on over the shaft. Took me three runs at it to get the measurements right, but it's there now, and I have all the measurements written down, so it will be easy to duplicate. Fit's onto the shaft "exactly" like the stock outserts. Darn solid hook up.

Glued into broadhead, and onto shaft. Spin Test. Not perfect, but plenty good enough. In the quiver, and ready to rock.

This one was made with drill bits a little to large. Only ones I could find in town.
I've found the right size bits now, and will order them in, and this thing will really spin true when built with them.

Nice lathe. I assume you are drilling with the tailstock, if so you need to make sure it's aligned with the head stock. If not the drills will cut oversize. Great idea on the broadhead adapter

Made a new one with the correct drill bit sizes. I'm going to continue using the 8/32 all-thread for the pin. It works just fine, is readily available, and easy to work with. I do believe I've got it nailed down, because this one works darn good.
     And the spin test video.
