Frustrated with sloppy uneven pinstripes on your arrows? It's probably your cresting lathe! The SpinRite offers features that set it apart from the pack. The unique adjustable roller and idler system allows you to dampen wobbles in those not-so-straight wooden shafts so your pinstripes are straight and true. As a matter of fact, dial indicator tests have shown that the SpinRite can be adjusted to bring most wood shafts to within the tolerances of aluminum and carbon shaft factory specifications. Try a SpinRite Arrow Crester and see for yourself that it's the most versatile crester available anywhere. With the SpinRite, even novice arrow builders can crest arrows with fine, straight lines. If you're ready to pinstripe with the best of them, go with a SpinRite Arrow Crester. "For lines fine and tight, crest with SpinRite!" Features of the SpinRite Crester Dual captured arrow shaft Large working area Fully adjustable arrow stop, support rollers, idler arm, and motor arm High torque (50 Oz/In) DC motor Moveable pattern guide Easy access power switch (Click Arrow to View Special Demonstration of the SpinRite Crester's Precision) Read About Crafting Arrows ...read more

SpinRite Crester Reviews
This crester works perfectly!

I have used arrow cresters in the past and the SpinRite Crester is far superior to any of them. It is smooth and easy to operate, making all your efforts look professional. I highly recommend this product for use by beginners and professionals alike!
Works fine

It works fine and there's a ton of adjustments you can make to it, the only catch being that it will take a bit of tinkering to get it working how you want it. The manual has a guide on getting it to work with slightly bent arrows, which seems to be what most of the adjustments are for, but instead I usually just, you know, straighten the arrow. I did initially have some problems… read more with the right side of the shaft always falling off the wheels, but I eventually figured out that the problem wasn't a lack of support from those wheels, but from too much unsupported downward pressure on the shaft from the drive wheel on the left side. I moved the left-side wheels all the way to the end and moved the spring towards the right and haven't had it happen since. The tape-measure looking thing on the front also isn't particularly useful since it sits pretty far from the shaft and if you have it raised up all the way the drive wheel will sit on it when there's no arrow on it. Other than those few quirks, highly recommended.
Great product

I first bought the Bohning crester but ended up returning it because it simply did not perform worth a darn. I could not get a single cedar arrow to spin on the Bohning cresting machine. I then purchased the SpinRite crester and have been very happy with it. It's construction is far superior to the Bohning and I've worked on some very crooked arrows on the SpinRite and have had… read more no problems. Learn from my mistake: save yourself the aggravation and buy the better machine the first time.

I have been building my own arrows for over 30 years. I made my own cresting lathe a long time ago, and now wish I had just purchased this tool back then. Night and day quality differences.

The crester came with instructions that seemed a little vague, telling about all the adjustments and how you should play around with them to get best results. However, once you do start adjusting, it becomes fairly obvious how it needs to be set up. Take time to straighten your arrows before cresting - it will pay off. Don't rely on crester to compensate for bent shaft. Keep grease… read more off the drive wheel and arrow, otherwies it can slip. I used a little alcohol. Experiment a little with different brushes and coating techniques. Make sure paint is mixed well for best coverage. I did a dozen arrows using red, black, yellow, and silver. They turned out great!
Great Product!

This cresting machine is fantastic. I shoot wood arrows and the can be difficult to crest due to imperfections. The stabilizer wheels can be moved to focus on one area to eliminate shaft wobble. Love it!!!

3R asked me to reply to this, but the comment does not seem like a question. However, I will say that I am happy with my spinrite crester. It does take some fiddling with the position of all the arms and O-rings, depending on where you are on the shaft, shaft diameter etc. And of course the straighter the shaft the better. But its a nice unit and building one from scratch that works as well would take enough time that the cost is well worth it.

Hi, I've used my Spinrite Crester on 5/16 and 11/32. According to their website (www.spinritecrester.com) 5/16 up to the 25(whatever that means) or larger can be used. I can use it with 3/8 and the way it is set up - you could probably go 1/2" or more. Hope that helps. Check out their website and video. I like mine a lot.. See attached pics. Best of luck.Dwight
