Where you guys finding these other blades at? All I see are these after searching & searching.

Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils.

Mine works great, been using it for about 5 years. Picked up blades from the flea market, really cheap.

I have always heard good reports on these.
I also heard to just use the more common 3" wheels. You can't use the guard with the bigger cutting wheel but you should be wearing safety glasses anyway.

Lots of options on 3" wheels.

QuoteThey work great if you spin the shaft while cutting  
I have only cut about 6 carbons on mine with great results. I use the blade it came with and slowly spin the shaft "into the blade" as I cut them. It has plenty of power, cause I'm not using it like a chop saw. I don't get splinters and have cut 2 different brand name carbons. I clamped mine to the bench and use its vice/clamp as one of my V blocks. I open the clamp so the shaft rides on top of it, not down in it (if you can picture that). At the other end I have a 2x4 with a field point stuck in it(threaded into a hole in board) and I set my shaft length and clamp that 2x4 down. I remove the nock and the shaft fits/spins perfectly on that field point. Sure its a crude set up, haven't had time to make a jig to hold everything and get it precise. Id rather be shooting, then building a chop saw.    :)
I'm not a "deer" hunter, I'm a bow hunter that occasionally shoots a deer.

Just like Frankwright said....Off with the saftey guard and on with a 3" abrasive wheel. More options in the 3" variety. They work fine for small arrow projects to tune a few arrows. Gives you the option of running in from the backyard and whacking off a 1/4" and going right back out and trying them out. I chop them and have never had any splintering. Find what length you need and take a full dozen to someone that has a arrow saw if you wish...

Can't be beat for the money.  You will need an exstra pack of blades---especially if you are cutting carbon shafts.

Check this coonass engineering.  Jason put this on the Bayou State Bowhunters forum some time back.  I liked it so well I built a modified version.  Jason can build some stuff guys.
