I have seen some posts where they were using a mini saw from harbor freight
Heres the link and its only 26 bucks

This what I use right now,the RPM's are a little low but it does the job.
Should be pretty decent, it's only 200 RPM short of the Apple PRO, and it's 2800 faster than some of them. Could also be a blade issue though. I just have never seen a real need for one, but this little thing may have other uses around the workshop, which makes it interesting to me.
I use my older 10" power miter saw with a thin cerf 7 1/4" 40 tooth carbide blade. I always use a backer board of some kind, been using some maple for years. Cut through the arrow and wood at the same time. The wood is notched so the arrow sits in the grove. Clean square cuts every time. Doesn't matter what the arrows made of. Blade is a frued, cost 20 bucks or less.

For those at home watching, it's a real 3450 rpm's.
