How Do You Cut Your Arrows To Length?
I'm going to order some full length pre fletched carbon arrows. Once I get the rest and the draw length dialed I'll cut them to length. I have several ideas on how to cut them but thought that I would ask how others do it. I prefer to learn from others mistakes instead of my own.
I could wait to have it all done and then order cut to length arrows but that would be too easy!

^^ The way it should be, never having to know if customer service is great or not! Too bad it isn't that way for all companies. It makes you wonder when eveyone knows about great customer service from a company doesn't it? ^^Originally Posted by bfisher

I am thinking of wrapping the arrow in masking tape at the cut point and cutting with a Dremel. I'll probably make a couple of V-blocks to rotate the arrow in while I use the cut off wheel on a Dremel tool.
Sound okay?

I cut my own I use to cut them by hand with a air cutter. But I built an arrow saw out of an old bed rail and sewing machine motor.

MLN I forgot you will need to square up the ends after you cut them. This is so the inserts fit evenly and the broad heads will fly without a wobble. I made my own and installed on my arrow saw. Do a search on AT and they have my DIY ideas you can do at home.

For squaring I am thinking of getting a Lumenock FAST arrow squaring tool. It's not too expensive and look pretty convenient.

I cut my arrows with a small hacksaw (and yes, i wrap the shaft with tape). I do it slowly and carefully and so far i haven't needed an extra squaring.

Harbor Freight has a mini cut off saw w/ abrasive blades. Works good, looks like a power miter saw but small. Has a clamp table to keep arrow square. I pre measure and mark arrows then cut at mark. Not the highest quality but works good. Go slow through the cut. I believe they are on line www.HarborFreight.com. Unfortunately I think everything is made in China. It goes on sale now and then if you can wait.
