Abstract
A method and an apparatus for truing the interface between an arrow shaft or insert and the arrow tip is provided. A squaring tool having a frame with at least one V-shaped channel supports an arrow shaft in parallel with the frame longitudinal axis. A cutting tool is mounted on the frame. A cutting surface of the cutting tool is perpendicularly aligned to both the tool frame longitudinal axis and the V-shaped channels. Each channel supports the arrow wherein an arrow longitudinal axis aligns in parallel with the frame longitudinal axis. The arrow is placed in the tool having the interface adjacent to the cutting surface and the assembly is rotated within the channels as the arrow shaft is translated against the cutting surface. The interface is cut by the cutting surface to perpendicularly align the interface with the arrow longitudinal axis.
