I have the Weston 8000 rpm without the dust collector. I just wear a mask and vacuum up the residue. It's been a great saw, and I'm very satisfied with it. That sounds like a good price considering how much they've gone up recently. I'd grab it.

 

Appreciate it thanks!

I’m up in Canada so with shipping, duty, exchange it’d be well over the $300 I could get it for in Canada. Appreciate it though!

I have the mini decut and love it. This one is 200

 

Ya that’s where I was planning to order it from. It’s $300 with shipping and taxes, or the Weston is 220 all in off amazon

 

Theres one on ebay for 100 bucks i think. I have looked for reviews but haven't found any i trust

 

If your not wanting to spend too much and like to do things yourself, just build one. Plenty ideas on the DIY page and most everything can be ordered off Amazon or eBay.

change the blade, square things up before you cut, get a cheap squaring tool, and save yourself $150 bucks.

 

Yep.

 

Have an Apple Pro for 15+ years and still going strong.

 

I like my Weston.

 

I had a Weston 5000rpm for many years.....it rattled like a model T but cut arrows.....until it quit. Weston didn't have replacement motors and the DIY suggestions didn't fill me with confidence. So I looked at the Decut at Lancaster and the Tbird at Three Rivers. Since I cut my arrows outside with a mask, I don't need to spend the extra for a dust collector. Finally decided on the Xspot/Decut and bought it from Lancaster in early December of '21. It is working fine for me and I feel like it is a step up from the Weston in terms of adjustability and smoothness.

 

Good afternoon everyone!

I’m in the market for an arrow saw and curious what people’s opinions are. I’m in Canada so my options are limited. Does anyone have experience with either of these two saws? My prices are attached too.

Weston 8000RPM with Dust collector, $220 with taxes and shipping.

Decut Pcocut Arrow saw, $300 with taxes and shipping.

Seems like these are the only two options I can find in Canada. Is the Decut worth the extra $80?
Thanks!

I've had the weston 8000 with dust collector for several years..........about 20ish.........still going strong......I'd go with the T bird if it were about 150 less........doesn't look nearly as good as xspot, decut, weston, apple, etc.....................I could also be way off with that, but it sure looks cheap as hell

 

I clamp my angle grinder onto my workbench and rig up a tailstock. Just takes a little time to fidget with it and get nice clean 90 deg cuts. Ain’t pretty, but it works.

 

Just an opinion, but I think I would rig a dust collector to the saw, or make sure I wear a mask when cutting. That micro-fine carbon/epoxy dust is probably bad news for lungs.

 

I run the X-Spot mini. Just cut a dozen arrows with it. No complaints and would buy it again.

 

Greatly appreciate the input!

 

I am using a $50 wet tile saw from Home Depot

 

Dunno about those 2 saws.... But i bought my used Apple Arrow saw off fleabay $100 (no vac) although was optional from factory. If yours doesn't have vacuum you can always just setup a mini shop vac behind the blade.

This is what I did. Works fine so far. Cheap and effective.

 

3” Roto-Zip abrasive cutoff wheel in my miter saw. Shop Vac for dust collection. Couple of turns on the ASD and shaft is ready for insert.

 

I have the Weston, great saw works well. The only thing I do not like about it is the location of the power switch. It is built into the power cord. This means I have to reach over the saw to turn on and off. I wish there was a switch on the front of the equipment.

My 10” table saw with a 90 tooth carbide blade and dust collector.

 

for those using the harbor freight mini saw, are you locking the chop function down and feeding the arrow into the blade while rotating or just a chop saw action?

I've owned on for years without issue. One thing.... Take it outside to cut arrows unless you have a shop. That dust will get everywhere even with the vacuum setup.

 

Greatly appreciate the advise! I’m going with the Decut, so will definitely follow your suggestion. Thanks again

 

Here's the DYI saw. Works awesome. It's a buddy of mine. Saw came from harbor freight.

 

What is he using at the saw end of the drawer slide to keep the arrow elevated?

 

Ya, a Dremel tool. They have exceptionally high RPMs and slender sharp edges that slice through arrows like hot butter. I clamp mine to my bench and have an opening bored into the finish of my bench to hold the nock while turning the bolt while cutting. Then, at that point, square the two closures and you're all set.
