Tubing cutter here, too! My favorite thing about aluminum arrows...easy to cut and easy to reheat the hot melt to remove the insert when tuning the shafts.

Careful when deburring after using tubing cutter, that you don't make a ramp for the insert to jam inside of the shaft when the arrow hits something solid. The shoulder of the cut edge should ideally be 90° against of the lip of the insert when it's seated.
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.

The cutting tool works perfectly fine and I used it for years. However, I have Cabelas visa card and this winter I redeemed the points from it in order to get a Cabelas high speed arrow saw. It was around 160 bucks. So it's not the highest quality. But I will tell you this it is worth every cent. You can cut all arrow types in a matter of seconds. I can cut a dozen arrows in 5 minutes and start fletching. It is a lot of fun and a great investment especially for tuning arrows. I highly recommend investing in one.
