Cutting Carbon arrows

[savagewsm]

I've always liked to do things myself so I'd like to know what you fellows use to cut carbon arrows to length. I have heard that a thin cutting wheel on a dremmel will do the trick.

Also, when measuring for length what is a good length to go with in front of the rest ?

The dremel tool will definitely do the job but if you're going to be doing lots, a proper cutoff saw isn't all that expensive.

And I think 1" is the standard.....

[shorthair ptr.]

As much as you like doing things yourself, where you bought your arrows should cut them at no cost. If you decide to cut them yourself with a dremel. You might want to consider a tool offered by G5, this tool will make sure that the end of the arrow is cut square so the insert seats proper and tuning your broadheads is much easier. I haven't used this tool but I've checked it out online on there website.

I have plans to build a saw on my site www.peteward.com.
They use a sewing machine motor, just like the Apple cut off saw does.
A dremmel also works , and a ZIP disc on a bench grinder also works.

I use an angle grinder with zip disc for cutting steel. Works very well for me.
