I was just wondering if anyone has used one of these to cut off carbon or aluminum arrows.

They work fine, I''ve used mine for a few years and just moved to a proper arrow cutter, but it did the job fine

I have one and it works great.I mounted mine on a board and made an adjustable stop for repeatable cuts.On the stop I drilled a taper in it,to keep the nock end centered and to be able to rotate the shaft as I cut.This will give you a square cut,by bringing the saw blade just into the shaft and then rotate it as you cut.This is how the more expensive arrow saws cut.They just have a portion of the blade exposed,you bring the arrow into it and rotate.

It is OK. Barely cuts hardwood and is a bit slow to load and awkward to use. I prefer a regular chop saw-cut 10-12 shafts at a time and easy fast loading.

I have one mounted as mentioned above with a ruler, a end stop with a hole for the nocks, etc... It works fine. I make slow cuts, and don't use it for woods. It tends to burn thru them more than cut thru wood.

You can get a different blade for wood.

I also got a pack of 3’ metal cutoff blades for mine.
http://www.harborfreight.com/pack-of-5-3-inch-metal-cutting-discs-66393.html
I ground them down to 2” to use with this saw. Worked great on the 24 carbon arrows that I have cut so far.

Works great for me. If I had a shop where I did alot of arrows then it would be kinda slow. But only doing a dozen here and there it is perfect.

That's what I am using too, on carbon and aluminun. Have used the blade that came with it w/o problems. I have used sandpaper rolled into a cone (like writing end of pencil) and knocked down any burrs. Piece-o-cake !
