Id go with wat Rob said..... Ive used one for years and it worked great. I do admit i bought an electric arrow cutter. But honestly I bought it bc I wanted something else to buy....

Good Luck

I just buy a sheet of mylar decal material at the hobby shop. Comes in a large variety of bright colors. I cut the width to the circumference of the arrow shaft I'm using. Less than $5 for a large sheet of the stuff.

I've used a small tube cutter to cut all of my aluminum shafts to my preferred 32" length for four decades.

I've used a mini-tube cutter as well without problem. If you happen to have a RCBS deburring tool, that you use when reloading pistol and rifle ammo, it also works well when deburring aluminum shafts.
