I have been using a homemade cresting machine for years. It does ok but speed control on motor is challenging. I have decided it is time to purchase a factory made machine. Leaning toward the Spinrite but would appreciate opinions on this one vs others. I do wood and aluminum arrows.

Thanks

Only have had a Spinrite, so can't compare, but am happy with it after having a home made one. Can't see why you wouldn't be happy with a Spinrite?

Have you tried a light dimmer switch? JF

A light dimmer switch is what I used on my home made one. I also have a Bohning cresting machine.

I had and used that home made cresting machine over 20 years and it still works great.

I've had a couple and the Spinrite is by far the best for me…well worth the cash if you have it.

Spinrite is all we will sell,think it is the best.

Kodiak td, is that a box tortoise shell on your bench? MP

I have a dimmer switch on mine. Just isn't very precise. My homemade one works ok I just want to try a better machine.

Spin rite is awesome easy to used and is backed . Rooty

Have used Bohning for years with no complaints.

A lot of them will do. Spinrite is the best I've used.

I use my Spinrite 99% of the time. I do have the crester that arrowmaker sells as well. I use it for cresting close to the nock ends on woods mostly. I have the old Bohning Jr. well. It works great for aluminum and carbons, not woods, they wobble no matter how well you think they are straight.

Mine cost about $10 to make. Bathroom fan motor, inline skate wheel and 2 bearings. A commercial chuck is nice if you can still get them. The Skate wheel gears it down to the perfect speed. Flip the switch and go. I use a floating cradle, where ever it is on the shaft, it is spinning perfect.

The SpinRite is a very fine machine, as well.

The back rail is from a bi-fold door
