RE: product test thread. Please read.
Don will give more info, but I think the ASD only trues up the very end or face of your arrow shaft or after you put in your insert it will true it up to a shaft. I do not think it has anything to do with the overall shaft or the arrow being bent or strait. Or are you some how putting the indicator on the end of the shaft where the point screws in getting a measurement?

Here is a photo of the ASD tool, it has two grooves to support the arrow shaft, the shaft slides up to the cutting head to "square" the shaft prior to inserting the nock or insert. The cutting head is reversable, one side is a cutting edge for aluminum, the other seems to be a diamond grit for the carbons. Very basic tool, but worth it weight in gold!

I went through a few years where I bought every tool I laid my eyes on,some have never been used, like a Mitutoyodial indicatorlike that, has a couple elbows in it and a big magnetic block.. It has been hanging on my tool box for years, now I know what to do with it..

Lee, did you get your question answered? Personally I don't use a dial indicator on my arrow spinner. If my broadhead does not spin true then I will reface the insert. If it still has visual run-out I try the broadhead on a known good shaft. If the second combo runs well I toss the first one. I have no use for straightening or a dial indicator. There other things more important than the run out I cannot see that has to be measured by a dial gauge.
Here is a good one that I bet no one pays attention to! Well maybe I shouldn't give you guys an edge over me............well maybe at a later date! (I've been thinking about offering this to you guys but since Squirrel is leaving, I just don't know! LOL)
