Offset on K Vanes?

Hi

The instructions recommend 1-3 degrees of offset.

I am about to fletch some X10's, please can you advise what amount, if any, offset i should use?

You probably won't have room for the full 3 degree offset, but asmuch as you can without compromising clearance, even a little offset will be beneficial.

I used a RH-helical clamp with my K-vanes. - John

Basically a bent clamp that holds vanes at an offset whilst the jig itself remains straight.
