Does anyone have experience with DIY equipment to cut carbon arrows? Thought these mini chop saws would be fast enough to do a good job. https://www.harborfreight.com/2-in-mini-bench-top-cut-off-saw-62136.html https://www.amazon.com/Toolman-Cut-...9Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
I have the one from harbour freight and it sucks. There is not enough power. To cut through you have to do it in sections.
No down side to buying one used if you can find it. As long as the motor is good it's a no brainer. New blades cost about 10 bucks. One case for new would be if you cam find someplace with free shipping, it may close the gap if you have to pay shipping on a used one. I have 8K one that bought years ago when cabelas was still worth going to...think it was made by Apple. Its paid for itself 10 times over
I made one out of a dremel it's not as precise and take a little longer to square your arrows but I only use it every one in awhile so it's fine. Sent from my motorola edge plus using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Do you secure the arrow and move the dremel, or secure the dremel and move the arrow in order to get it cut?
Secure the dremel.then I but the shaft to the block. You have to cut smaller chunks until you get close to final length but it work good enough Sent from my motorola edge plus using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Micro Mark makes a small chop saw with two blade options. One a saw fine toothed blade, the other is a cut off wheel. Both will cut arrows. I put a wrap of masking tape on the arrows before cutting them. I mounted the saw on a board and marked the board in half inch increments from 26-31. Then pre drilled the board where I could put a long screw into the board. I put the arrow nocks into the screw.
