Vane Angle Tool
Vane Angle Tool
Use this patented tool to precisely set up your Bitzenburger fletching jig to the desired helical (or offset) angle. The wrap shows angles from 0 - 6 degrees left or right and is attached to a 7” section of 0.204 ID arrow and includes a nock. Just place an arrow in the clamp, turn the nock so that the bottom corner of the vane is in the crosshair as shown and adjust the dials on the jig. This works with the straight and helical clamp. The helical clamp actually puts the vane on straight, it just follows the curvature of the arrow better. Simple, precise, and highly effective.

Vane Angle Tool
I purchased this vane angle tool to try out on my bitzeberger. As far as I know, there is no other way to know the angles and I wanted to give it a go. As a test I set up for 3 spare arrows and 3 different vanes to see how they looked compared to my mini max helical. First time playing with it and I found it takes a bit of playing with on the Bitz to get close to the 2-2.5 degree angle. I wasn’t comfortable with the 2.5 angle on the straight clamp as everyone recommended, I used the 2 degree. It is a little difficult to know what exact degree your setting to and it takes a bunch of looks which is just a set up- after that you get what you get. I felt I had to pressure the front of the vane a little make sure I had good even pressure on the vane. It does work, it does help and for the $10 it is totally worth it.
This is the only tool on the market that does this. It's nice to know what angle your gluing them on at.
This tool makes finding angles for your fletching extremely easy. Consistent, intuitive and easier than other methods I've tried. Highly recommended.
I recently bought this and I really should’ve bought this a long time ago. I’ve been using DCA Vanes for a couple of years now and love them. I’ve seen the vane angle tool on DCA’s page but never really thought much of it. Recently, I was having issues getting a good angle on my bitz and wasted a lot of vanes because of lack of full contact. I remembered that DCA has this tool available and ordered one. This gives you a visual of the actual angle and confirms whether or not you’re getting complete contact through the entire base of the vane. No more wasting vanes! This is a great tool to have in your tool chest when fletching up arrows. I highly recommend getting one of these!
