I was just wondering if anyone has used one of these to cut off carbon or aluminum arrows.

Works great for me.

They work fine, I''ve used mine for a few years and just moved to a proper arrow cutter, but it did the job fine

I also use one. Does a decent job for me.

Works like a charm,

Cool thanks. I plan on getting one they are on sale for only $25 can't beat that for a cut-off saw.

I use one too for alum shafts. Do your self a favor and order replacement blades at the same time.

I like mine!

I have one and it works great.I mounted mine on a board and made an adjustable stop for repeatable cuts.On the stop I drilled a taper in it,to keep the nock end centered and to be able to rotate the shaft as I cut.This will give you a square cut,by bringing the saw blade just into the shaft and then rotate it as you cut.This is how the more expensive arrow saws cut.They just have a portion of the blade exposed,you bring the arrow into it and rotate.

It is OK. Barely cuts hardwood and is a bit slow to load and awkward to use. I prefer a regular chop saw-cut 10-12 shafts at a time and easy fast loading.

I have one mounted as mentioned above with a ruler, a end stop with a hole for the nocks, etc... It works fine.  I make slow cuts, and don't use it for woods.  It tends to burn thru them more than cut thru wood.

You can get a different blade for wood.

I also got a pack of 3' metal cutoff  blades for mine.

I ground them down to 2" to use with this saw. Worked great on the 24 carbon arrows that I have cut so far.

Works great for me. If I had a shop where I did alot of arrows then it would be kinda slow. But only doing a dozen here and there it is perfect.

A buddy of mine uses one ans swears by it.

Thanks for the "heads up"  I'm going down tomorrow and pick one up..have been meaning to do so for some time now.

Two questions Please for those of you familiar with this saw:

Mine works very well!

That's what I am using too, on carbon and aluminun.  Have used the blade that came with it w/o problems.  I have used sandpaper rolled into a cone (like writing end of pencil) and knocked down any burrs.  Piece-o-cake !

I, have had good luck wtih the blades that come with it, mostly use mine for just tuning if I need alot of shafts cut i go to the archery shop not far from me...DB

For the price, cant beat it.
