RE: Cutting arrows to length
I have heard a dremel works good also. I have a dremel and am trying to figure out how to set it up. Do you have a stand that you put the dremel in, or or you just cutting it by hand? I would imagine that you could cut a shaft by hand after measuring and masking it off with tape and then take the G5 ASD tool to square the edge off. Anybody here do this?

I thought I already posted this in this thread, but do a search on Harbor Frieght. I bought their mini chop saw and it works perfect for $25 or so. I made a small jig out of a piece of angle iron and mounted it all on my "archery bench" and it works as good as the apple saw at the archery club I belong to. I spent a total of about $30 building it.

RE: Cutting arrows to length
Thanks for the help. I am going to be making a stop up to home depot to make a crank board and a target stand out of PVC pipe. If I get really motivated I may try and make a cutting board.
MilDotMaster,
Yep, those old arrows do have a purpose. I have some old Beeman Hunter arrows that are about 12 years old that have just been laying around. They are like 26 inches because I used to have an overdraw on my bow.
Thanks again.

Tee Jay, I saw that Saw on E-bay, but wondered if was cheap and would do the job, I even saw a couple of the same saws with table jigs to hold the arrow to length ( But they jumped the price to over $100 ). Did you get yours yet? and if so, how do you like it. I figured for $27, I could get the saw and then build the table jig myself a lot cheaper. It is not spending the money that bothers me, it is spending the money to find out it is not what I needed and then it woudl be wasted.
