What would be the best way to cut carbons without having to shell out for a power saw which I can't afford anyway?
Thanks, Brian

take em to a archery shop and have them cut them to whaever length you need, might cost $5-10 but itd be a lot better than having to buy one... but ive got one so i dont have to worry about it...
also, most places that you buy them from will cut them to length if you ask... valley of nock to back of point.

I used a Rotozip With a cut off blade on it.Its not as precise as a factory saw but its the same principle and it worked fine.Any grinder type device will work even a bench grinder will work in a tight.

i tape ( duc tape ) a dremel tool down to a work surface with a sanding disc on it roll the shaft toward the disc and if a wee bit off put ensd against flat side of disc , use eye protection and don't suck too much dust into lungs LOL -- herb

I've used the dremel as well. Make sure you have eye protection and respiratory protection. I made a wood form to hold my arrows in a clamp without damaging them and held the dremel in my hand. I just felt better that way. You can also get a nice inexpensive cutoff saw from Harbor Freight Tools. Has a three inch cutoff disk. I think it is about $30 or so.

I put my dremmel in a vice. I mark the arrow shaft with duct tape and cut right at the edge by holding the shaft and rotating slightly. You might have cut off some sections if your shaft is very long.
