Hello,
I have taken up archery and as a result have to make a lot of arrows (as I am always breaking / losing them)
As part of this I have to reduce the diameter of a wooden dowel down from 10mm to around 8.5mm along the first 8cm of it (to fit the metal point)
at the moment I use a belt sander to do this but I wonder if there is any kind of tool which would do this job more easily/quickly ?
I guess a wood lathe is the obvious answer but it seems a bit over the top and I wondered if there is some kind of hand tool (like a pencil sharpener?) which will quickly do it ?
