Wanted the same thing. Am returning the Bitzenburger I bought. The helix on the Bitzenburger is minimal to none with Blazer vanes. The Bohning will give you 3 degree helix that actually works fine. I have that one, but bought the Bitz to try and do 4 helicals and was quite disappointed. Wish someone would make a 90 degree helical for Blazers.
I have a helix as well, it works good, although it is made completely out of plastic.

Any thoughts on the Arizona E-Z Fletch?
Spend the little bit of extra money and get the bitzenburger. There is a reason pros ops choose this jig over others...

http://ezfletch.com/product.php?productid=2&cat=1&page=1
Traded the bitz for the E-Z Fletch Mini. I used the regular size when I had 4 inch vanes. Works well, 3 degree helical. Starts to mess up after the glue starts to build up on it. Easy cleanup though. Just soaked it in acetone. I think if you limit yourself to half a dozen or mop up the glue well between arrows and you could probably get a good dozen out. I did 18 and I was cursing at it on the last 3 arrows (the vanes were starting to stick more to the jig, than the arrows. Quicker, and a similar helical fletch to the Bohning jig, but not as clean. The Bohning probably go through 2 dozen before glue became an issue as long as you cleaned it a bit between fletchings. Someone needs to make those jigs out of something that does not stick to super glue.

Then my wife found it and has used it all over the house. She likes the dispenser as it doesn't drip or squirt out a bunch of extra after you're done squeezing.

I used this on my inserts and they have been solid. Very impressed

The no run feature might make the EZ fletch work nice. Most of the problem with glue buildup was as the glue rolled down, usually at the rear of the arrow. Most of the fletching glues are super glue based.

This stuff is awesome at not running. It sticks right where you put it. If you see some at wal mart, grab a bottle and try it around the house. I swear it's the only super glue I'll buy anymore

Someone should manufacture the shrink on vanes with helical vanes, and they should design "helical" blazers that you don't have to force into the configuration.
And make the shrink wrap ones cheaper. If they weren't an average of $2-$3 each, I would buy them constantly. It's getting too expensive to buy them anymore so that's why I started the thread.

I'd spend 2-3 dollars apiece if they came in helical. It's a pain in the butt sometimes refletching arrows. By the time you've spent a few dollars on super glue, vanes, fletching jigs, acetone, paper towels, Q-tips, time<--the big one...I think you'd be ahead of the game.

If you factor in the savings of buying shafts instead of prefletched, or buying the shrink wrap kind I think you'll find you're money ahead within a few years of buying the jig. I just bought 200 AAE vanes for a grand total of 17 bucks. That's six dozen arrows = 3 bucks a dozen to fletch. By the time I fletch those six dozen arrows I've paid for my Bitz if I compared the price to shrink wraps or buying prefletched. That isn't even factoring in the convenience of redoing arrows that you cut a fletching with a broadhead.
