Arrow saw recommendations?

I’m looking for recommendations on an arrow saw (home use with carbon arrows). Right now I’m trying to decide between a t bird vs a Weston 8000 rpm. Also open to others but those seem to be the most popular from what I’ve seen lately.

If you plan on using it a lot, get the best you can afford. If only occasionally, you can purchase a mini chop saw from harbor freight for $38 plus tax/shipping and find a 2" fiber blade to go with it.... or convenience, we offer all of that on our site for $55.

For occasional use, I use a Dremel tool with a thin 1" diameter disc.
I clamp the Dremel tool down to the work bench, clamp a piece of wood on the bench for an arrow stop at the place I want to cut, and slide the arrow shaft up against the disc and slowly rotate the arrow shaft.
Does a great job.

I can afford to shoot most any bow I like. And I like Primal Tech bows.

I have what Big Jim recommended for occasional use. Yes, I can afford the saws made for a shop like his but it came down to space. I don’t have the space to leave a Apple saw setup all the time or a place to store it. As for dust collection, I do my arrow cutting on the patio. I have a work table out there.

Thanks for the tips Big Jim! I have been using one of the chop saws from Harbor Freight for a few years and noticed a tendency to splinter carbon shafts. I started wrapping the shaft with painters tape and going really slow with the metal blade. I didn't realize there was a fiber blade available to use with carbon. I just placed an order for one on your website. I would recommend to the OP to get the saw and fiber blade from Big Jim. Inexpensive and works great for home use.

As far as saws go, I like the decut for pro use.. it has a foot pedal and holds up pretty well.
The weston and apple seem to be in the same boat. I have had a couple of each and they just don't last. Motor is nearly as much as the saw.
