Default carbon arrow cutting with dremmel tool?

I need to use a dremmel tool to cut my new carbon/metal arrows. I'm not investing in a cut-off saw this year. Was wondering if anyone has a pic of a jig they built to get a nice cut with a dremmel.
I'm sure I can come up with something, but maybe a bro in arms could save me some experimentation time.

Thanks Irish!
The hinge in the first link is a great idea.
Can't see the second's pics without joining up tho.

I'd welcome other ideas as well.

I also saw this video, where the dremel's cable extension, which I own, is placed in a vise. This solves the problem of the thick body of the motor getting in the way of the arrow shaft that protrudes past the cutting blade. Me like.

Maybe do a search, as there was one on here many years ago. Before the big crash.

Default I feel sorry for the 'sportsman'

I stayed with my aluminum arrow or whatever they call them today. The expense of a necessary "archery saw" for carbon arrows, insulted me.

Sportsmen, pay through the nose, for items like "archery saws" and items made "exclusively" for sportsmen. I still use an old hacksaw blade for my alums for some 20 years. It has no electric power. I freelance the cutting it like any metal part.

If I ever go to carbons, I have an electric saw that was used for cutting ceramic tiles for the home. A new blade would cost me about five bucks.

Today I fertilized the home grounds with fertilizers, that weren't expensive traditional fertilizers. The expensive kind, hunters use for food plots for deer. Yea, I saved some money, but it did sure hurt my Prussian ancestry, to have to use beer.
