I took an old motor out of a table top fan. 1/4" shaft and set it up on a L shaped bracket. Cut 2 pieces of wood to form a V notch in it at the right height. To attach the arrow I used a piece of rubber hose slid over the shaft
and the arrow knock. Worked great for making my own ID markings bellow the fletchings with model paint. Also worked to show me the broadhead was seated square to the shaft.
I should also state that I ran the power through a dimmer switch so it wasn't running at full rpm. Pics I don't have at the moment.

I use an electric mixer for my spinner motor. Works great, 5 speeds & a choice of clockwise & counter clockwise.
