Here's a pic of my arrow saw jig.  Basically it's a specialized miter box.  The guide blocks are hickory so they don't get cut up too bad and the stop end is marked for length.  I picked up the saw at a local hobby shop.  It's a HONA brand and cuts on the pull stroke.  One good thing, with a little care, I can cut a dozen at once.     :cool:

To answer the question, I use a radial arm saw. I cut halfway. Complete the cut from the other way. Jawge

Just go to a hobby store, and Xacto knives make a dandy little saw that works great.

I use a small saw made by X-acto.  It's fit in a handle like the blade do, only this handle has some bulk.  The blade is so fine, you can cut carbons without splintering them.  You'll find the saw in your local hobby/crafts shops!  :thumbsup:

Bandsaw seems to work just fine.

Used to use a mitre box and fine tooth wood saw or hack saw.  Now just use my band saw.

I use a 12" DeWalt power miter saw (one of three)  :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:  
I usually cut all twelve at the same time.

Like Ho'nehe Jeff andFatman said,  score the shaft with a stanley knife by cutting and rolling the shaft at the same time.  Then snap the cut end off and taper. You can do a dozen arrows in a minute or two  this way.
