Homemade Arrow Saw
A few weeks ago me and a friend were experimenting with my old arrows with cutting and cresting. We tried making a cresting machine using a drill. 
It somewhat worked. We also needed to cut an arrow down so I used my dremel tool and it somewhat worked but the cut was really bad. Well I was reading a topic this morning before school that was asking for pictures of a dremel tool based arrow saw and it gave me the idea to make a rig for it so the past couple hours i've been working on this...
It is very simple and was easy to make. All I used was a 40" 2x4, some screws, drills, and my cheap $20 dremel tool, and a couple clamps.
I used a door hinge and attached the dremel end to it with the clamps and all you gotta do is pull it over top of the arrow and spin your arrow to cut all the way around.
In this picture you can see that I curved out notches to put the arrows in to spin.
Then to adjust your length for your arrows, just unscrew a couple screws on this peice and move it to whatever length you need then screw them back in to tighten it.
It works very good! And its very cheap! That is if you buy a cheap dremel like I did. I think its called like toolshop or something. It was like $20 at menards.
