To any of ya that use and Apple arrow cut off saw, I figured I would pass along this little piece of info. I make several dozen sets of arrows a week so I cut a lot of arrows and I noticed that the fiber new blades coming from Apple were junk. One blade made it thru 7 aluminum arrows and was gone. There is a slight visual difference between the old and new blades and they don't last at all. In my search for an alternate fiber blade I found at Harbor Freight the other day a 3"x1/16" fiber blade for 69 cents. The arbor hole is 3/8", which I opened to a 1/2" for the Apple arbor. Works perfect and seems to be holding up considerable longer than the Apple fiber blades at a tenth of the cost. If you have an Apple cut off saw you might want to look into them. dino
