I needed to cut some Gold Tips and don't make enough arrows to justify a arrow saw. 4" angle grinder with a continuous diamond cutting wheel worked very nice.

I used this 1/4" pipe nipple which was clamped level to the top of my vise to hold arrows still and make sure I got a square cut. The 500 spine arrows fit insude the pipe nipple perfectly.

Thanks for the tip. An angle grinder is an extremely useful tool for sure.

Nice set up. Dremel cut-off tools work well too. I chuck my arrows in a mini-lathe and have a dremel tool (on a flexible extension) mounted in the toolpost. I get perfect cuts with both the arrow and cutter spinning. Your set up looks like a great option too. Thanks for posting it. - John

That is pretty much it Steven. I called the only bow shop close to me, which is still 25 miles away, and the owner told me he would cut them for $2 a shaft. Little too pricey for me, so I came up with this.

My local shop does it for 50 cents per shaft. I usually cut them myself with a Harbor Freight cutoff saw.

If you are not already set up like this,they have thin cut off wheels for the small grinders that are much cheaper. I use them a lot for cutting steel. >>>----> Ken

I use my tile saw. I leave it set up all the time. I have probably cuts more arrow than tiles with it.

I'm with Mpdh, $39 cut off saw from Harbor Freight. And it's not just for arrows.

1.5" Dremel EX Lock metal cutting blade mounted on a conventional Dremel after initial length-adjusting cut can be hand-held for second, functionally perfect cut.

I find that carbons shoot best left long. If I must cut, a dremel and cut-off wheel do the trick. As said above, beware fumes/dust.

My arrow saw came with all the hardware to hook it up to a shop-vac, you definitely don't want to breath that dust.

A few months ago I got a Milwaukee 4.5" angle grinder with Grizzley' grinder stand.Before that I used a wood miter box with a fine tooth hacksaw.
