Default Cutting arrows

I recently ordered a dozen Carbon Express Maximas and was wondering what i can use to cut these guys down to size. I really would like to do it myself if possible. Can i use a dremel with a cut off wheel? Also how long is the recommended length for a 29" draw? My current arrows are cut at 29" and they are even with the front of the riser giving me about 2" to the rest. Should i cut them back another 1" to 1.5"?

Another quick question..

Will the difference in the lighter arrow weight increase my speed enough to maintain the same Ke put out? I know that i am currently shooting 220fps and these new arrows are 7.3gr per inch and might be shorter where as my old ones are 8.9gr per inch assuming that the knocks, vaines, inserts are the same weight.



Thanks for the help
