Aerovane Jig & Accessories Aerovane Jig, Chuck and Hooks, 2013 Imrpovement, Vane Clamp, Leveler, Alignment Laser, Long Feather Adaptor
On December 2009, Firenock LLC introduced the Aerovane Jig. After trying to work with the tools available on the market for 3 years and still not able to unleash the full potential of what Aerovane can do, we decided to build our own jig and its associated accessories. We are now offering our high precision Aerovane Jig, Aerovane Clamp, Laser Alignment Module, instant adhesive AG0600, and other accessories which they are all designed to be used with any straight jig clamp available on the market. Aerovane Jig offers: High precision: up to 1/72° One of the main features of Aerovane jig is the Aerovane Jig’s index. It is made of Level 3 hard anodized CNC aluminum supported by two ABEC#5 ceramic ball bearings to ensure perfect alignment and smoothness. The matched support hook is also supported by 2 ball bearings which this design allows the arrow to be fully supported and for extra smooth operation. For arrow holding, a triple O-rings system plus a wedge design is used to ensure perfect arrow holding while fletching. The dual magnet design allows precision angle adjustment. Each magnet is supported by independent 1mm per turn machine screw which can be further tightened by hand for fine adjustment and locked down via an Allen key. The hook knob, the depth screw are made from bar stock brass or stainless steel for maximum durable. The use of an index plug ensures future performance even wear and tear; one just needs to replace the plug and the jig will again be within 1/72° accurate or better in precision. Versatile arrow compatibility  To get perfect arrow alignment on the jig, an interchangeable precision chuck and hook system is developed. Firenock Aerovane Jig consist of 7+1 chucks and 3+3+1 hooks. (The chuck is tapered like precisely machined to provide zero play chuck interchange ability). The ball bearing arrow support hooks are also color-coded to match with same color-coded size of Firenock Extreme shock end caps for easy size identifications. Picture below showed all 7 fix sizes chuck in gold for 0.297" - 0.303" (common bolts, 22 size, Firenock C, D, F, J, Q and V style), black for 0.240" - 0.248" (Gold Tip, Carbon Express, Firenock S style), red for 0.200" - to 0.205" (Axis, Trophy Ridge, Firenock A style). There are also a 0.166" chuck system which this should be used with the adjustable chuck for the archers who prefer the G nocks to fit into different outside diameter arrow. For 2013 new fix chuck were added to the list of fix chucks: 0.225" (E style, aka H nock chuck), 0.285" (Y style, to fit Carbon Express and Easton FMJ crossbow arrows), and a PIN nock chuck. The fix size chucks are made of 303 stainless with 3 O-ring (except for pin nock chuck which uses a clamp fit) for perfect alignment and solid grabbing of arrows being fletched. The 2013 new chuck are tinted in bronze in the picture above for your convenience. For those who want maximum flexibility, an adjustable chuck and hook system is now available as an option to cover 0.115" to 0.667". Video for installation and how to below All the hook sets are also available with the slide ability to do offset up to 1.5 degree to the right. This allows you to set offset without the need to adjust the magnet and still be quite precise (±0.25 degree due to eyeballing). The laser engraved slide hook has 4 markings and should bottom out at 1.5 degree at maximum setting. It is a fantastic addition for those who shot slower speed arrow and/or use other vanes besides Aerovane. This feature is available in all hook sizes, including the adjustable chuck. Also please note that now all Firenock Aerovane hooks ball bearings are wobble free while rotating as the simple stainless screws are replaced with precision brass shoulder bolts to ensure the tolerance is close to ZERO. n via the jig. Below is picture of laser module mounted on an Aerovane Jig with laser parallel on the vane, arrow shaft and jig index groove. For 2013, we have made a few more accessories to the Aerovane Jig. As many customer would like to use Aerovane Jig as their only fletching Jig, the fact that the space between the hook and the adjustable chuck is not enough to do a 5" feather or any 5" long vane. Therefore we now offer an long vane/feather adapter for the Aerovane jig. A 7 index chuck is also add for those who prefer to use a 4 vane configuration at 90 degree or 60 degree separation. Aerovane Jig comes with 4 index points as its standard configuration, this allows one to fletch 2 and 3 vane perfectly. The current 4 indexes are at 0, 120, 180, and 240 degree. Many customers have asked for more indexes to allow one to fletch 4 vanes and many other configurations. As of May 21st 2012, an optional 7 index system was offered. This index has 0, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240, and 270 degree which allows one to do many other configuration with ease. Below are 2 more vane configurations one can do beside the standard 2 and 3 vanes.   High precision Aerovane Stainless Clamp A lot of magnetic based clamps are available for sale on the market, however almost none of them could satisfy today's demanding hunters and could achieve excellent fletching result even with the Aerovane 1/16” brass bar installed. In response to this issue, Firenock has developed Aerovane clamp with the 1/16” straight bar as part of the clamp itself. The Aerovane clamp works similar to the clamp available on the market, but the Aerovane clamp is made of high precision die cast 303 stainless steel and then machined which its precision straightness is up to 0.001". For the pivot point, we utilize zirconia ceramic ball bearing for extra smooth operation, durability, and virtually rust free. The extra thick spring system with self alignment capability of the clamp provides a good hold of any vanes even if the vane does not have an air channel like Aerovane does. The clamp is also made shorter to better fit today’s popular shorter vane, but can still fletch vanes as long as 3.75”. Perfectly straight fletching could be easily done with the use of the Aerovane clamp. Of course, Aerovane clamp is also a perfect companion accessory for Aerovane Jig as well as other magnetic based fletching jigs. For 2012, the Aerovane clamp is also being upgraded. The clamp is now thicker for solid feel on the hand and a thicker steel plate can be embedded for even higher magnetic force. The back notch of the clamp is now higher, 3 more mm to accommodate the fingers of the adjustable chuck when used. Versatile clamp compatibility with most market available clamps Aerovane jig is designed to be compatible with most magnet base jig clamp on the market. Although Firenock does make an excellent high precision 303 stainless Aerovane clamp, we do not make any helical clamp specific to the Aerovane jig. Thus your investment in clamps from Bitzenburger, Grayling, Martin will not be wasted as they should be fully compatible with Aerovane Jig. Below is Aerovane jig with a helical and a straight Bitzenburger clamp. (Note: the helical clamp needs to be shaved from the top to fit due to the need of center pivot on the clamp on parallel magnet system.   High Portability Firenock will also offer the Aerovane Jig in a complete package. The package which includes the Aerovane Jig, Aerovane Clamp, Aerovane Glue, 3+1 sets of chuck and v-notch combinations, 4 axis fully adjustable neck, base and a carrying case which the case has separated compartments to carry the mentioned parts and also spaces specifically prepared for a bottle of acetone and some Q-Tips. For carrying case, 2 models will be offered: deluxe and normal. Both models of carrying case can provide full protection to the Aerovane Jig and its companion parts and thus it allows archer to travel with the Aerovane Jig to the remotest places and to be able to fletch arrows as if he was back at home. For those that want to travel light, the jig can be easily separated from the neck with the twist of a knob. This design allows the archer to pick and choose how much gear to take to any specific destinations.  Top/Top side: (Embroider side of the bag) Aerovane Jig 2013 (enough space for Adjustable chuck, hook set, and long feather adaptor installed on the jig body), bottle of glue, Water Level, Laser Module, Stainless clamp and long feathe adaptor.

While for archery enthusiast, we offer a 4 axis fully adjustable neck to allow one to achieve the optimum angle and position from a coffee table to a work bench with ease. The solid black anodized aluminum base is designed to accommodate either necks. Shown below is an Aerovane Jig with adjustable chuck and hook set on a production neck, and the 3 others are on a 4-way adjustable neck at different possible angles.     Aerovane Precision Compact Water Level In any bow set up and low viscosity gluing environment, precision water level is a must to make sure the arrow is level. That is why Firenock offers a precision Water level. It is a piece of machined Aluminum with 4 ball bearings and a brass knob. It has an open design so it can be put on an arrow from the side without threading from either ends of an arrow. The 4 ball bearings with high precision machined screws make the water level hold and swing smoothly on the arrow without wobble and make it find the balanced point easily. The compact design makes it extreme portable, while the counter balance brass knob makes the water level extremely stable.  Perfect re-fletching with Laser Alignment Module: After one full year listening requests from our customers and struggling to find the right suppliers, Firenock has come up with the best and no compromise Laser Alignment system. Aerovane laser alignment module is developed to make vane re-fletching, alignment and set up simple on Aerovane jig. The high precision 3 lens optics system of Laser Alignment Module emits a straight thin red laser (0.25 - 0.55mm width) on your arrow. This ultra thin laser will allow you to re-alignment an arrow to within 1/4" of degree by aligning the next vane on the arrow via the jig's index. To achieve perfect alignment, best precision and ease of use, the Aerovane laser module is designed to be mounted about 75 mm right above the Aerovane Jig’s chuck via the 2 holes with 2 screws, with which the laser line will span from the base of the clamp alignment line to the valley of the hook set at the top of the jig. With this optional laser module, perfect single vane re-fletching can be done by bare eyes (which is believed to be 1/4 to 1/16 of a degree accurate). With this laser line alignment tool, one can precisely make perfect alignment from a perfect center line. Not only the laser module will give a crisp red line on the arrow, the laser can even provide good indication to check whether the vane is aligned perfectly as one can see whether the laser line is parallel with the clamp.   For some customers who may not shot Aerovane, angle adjustments and setting position of the vane may still be needed. By utilizing 2 X 4 way adjustment neck, plus a single plane laser rotational adjustment, it is believed that it can now handle any possible vane positions and copy the position via the jig. Below is picture of laser module mounted on an Aerovane Jig with laser parallel on the vane, arrow shaft and jig index groove.
