Would like to hear from folks who have an arrow cutter. Thinking of picking one up but don't want to invest a fortune either. Which one is a good buy and how much RPM is needed for carbon shafts ?

Terry.

I made my own and used the Mini Cut off saw from Harbor Freight it does a really good job and costs around $30 it was only $20 when I got mine.

The blade spins at about 7000 rpm I personally would not use anything slower

Thanks guys, I found the website for that saw. What blade do you need?

Kanga

Terry.

I am just using the blade that came with it so far it has cut about 10 dozen arrows with no problems.

gibblet

yeah, mine came with a few blades, obviously don't use the one with the teeth.

Well I forget what the name is right off hand, but I got me a mini table saw for my carbons. But I suggest using like a G5 arrow square to make sure the end of the shaft is squared and no rough edges

I already picked up a G5 arrow tool. Thanks all for the info.

It took me forever to find one the year I was looking for it. I called around and called around, and finally a guy said, "you wouldn't beleive how popular these are?" I said yes I would and he sent me his last one

wasn't going to cut my own and put an arrow together without it though! [8D]
