I use the Harbor Freight saw with the toothed blade on it for carbons. Works fine for me - 3 dozen arrows so far. Some people do not like the toothed blade, but it never presented me with a problem. Test it for yourself by cutting off less of the arrow than you need to. Easy to build your own jig for holding arrows while cutting. Lots of threads on this.

Get the tool made for the job,, more money but they work great. Just plug it in and cut with confidence:wink:

yep

they work great, get the 2 inch disc instead of the steel cutting wheel and off they come!! Smooth cutting carbon. There is a harbor freight by century III mall !!! my cousin and I just went there the other day. TOOL city, felt like a kid in the candy store (made in china candy though :sad: )!!

Do a search for "homemade arrow saw" on here and you will find lots of people using them. I have one, but I have not had the time to set it up yet. I did make some cuts on a broken arrow to see how it did. It cuts fine, I have the blade that came with it turned around backwards, but most people say to use and abrasive wheel.

I have one also and it works wonders and its a hell of a lot cheaper than the apple. Use the abrasive blades, they work better than the one that comes with it.

I am using one now as well, but would prefer to have saved some more money and bought an actaul cut off saw. The G5 Arrow Squaring Device probably gets a lot more work due to me using the harbor freight saw...I wasn't able to build a jig with good enough tolerances for my liking.

You would like my converted angle grinder then.

Take any 4.5" angle grinder from Northern Tool.
More than enough horse power, and the spindle is stout enough
and has very little runout.

Put a FlexoVit Razorblade grinding wheel, designed to cut stainless steel.
It's only 3/64ths wide.

A couple scraps of wood, some glue and screws,
and mount the grinder permanently sideways, so the blade is vertical.

Build an angled blade guard.

Build a cloned angled blade guard with a few extra pieces of trim,
and now you have a nock end arrow support.
