Cutting Arrows with dremel
 

I saw a post quite a while back about cutting your own arrows. I recently got my axis arrows in the mail and would like to cut them to size. I have a dremmel I purchased but didn't know what kind of disc or attachment to use to cut these shafts. Any help appreciated.

You can use a black silicone, (reinforced type) saw blade--but you should definitely build a jig to enable you to cut the shafts 'square' at the end, otherwise the broadhead isn't going to be perfectly in line with shaft.

I use a dremil to cut myt shafts also. To get a square cut you You need to cut the bulk of the arrow off before you make your finishing cut. It is a lot easier to cut square if you'r finishing cut is 1/2 to 3/4 inch.

I'm sorry . I didnt read all of your post. I use a high speed cutoff blade to cut the shafts.

Do you need different blades for carbon and aluminum?

RE: Cutting Arrows with dremel
 

No--the same blade will work with both carbon & aluminium shafts.

Dremel # 456, 426 and 540 willwork fine. #456 is the largest of the 3 blades and would be better to handle.
