What are you guys useing to cut your carbon arrows?

Thank you Pete Ward!!

Wow Pete thanks for sharing. I found the same thing with the glues. I use JB weld and have bnot had a failure yet. To ruin an arrow now I have to shoot it into a rock. I have a piece of 3/4" plywood right behind my target in case of a miss or a glancing shot. Super glues, hot melts etc always came loose and often rammed the insert into the shaft. Not any more. Slow cure epoxies are used in the furniture industry on many high end custom piese for a reason. They work.

"Things like hack saws , thick blades,and grinding wheels shred the inside of the shaft."

Regarding the grinding wheel....it's simply not the case.  Never had issues with the inside deterioration with light pressure on the spin.  Like I said...I've done hundreds.

$35 for a new sewing machine motor, and a little machining time to fabricate an arbor, and wa-la, generic, apple cutoff saw, with an attachment for the shop vac.....

anyone try the cabelas, it's a fraction of the cost of the apple with vac attachment and it looks pretty good?

I'm going to start using an axe.

Nice, Otto.  I've cut them with a utility knive...rolling them back and forth on the countertop.  Time consuming though.

Pete...I never had a problem with the hacksaw blade.  I do rotate the shaft as I cut.  Never had a problem and recommand anyone who does not cut many shafts to give it a try.

Mike:
 That is very bad advice you are giving out for cutting carbon arrows .
 What do you recomend they do when they ruin the shafts?
