Arrow Cutting Saw Blade


Zemp

Recommended Posts

I've decided to try building some arrows, I'm kind of a stubborn do it yourselfer and prefer to do things myself rather than wait at my archery shop for my arrows.

I am wondering what the best saw blade is for cutting aluminum arrows? Is there a good blade I can use on my Mitre saw (5000 rpm), I'd rather not buy another saw if I don't need to. I'd rather spend that money on real hunting gear! smile

Thanks!

I think many of the newer Apple saws are running around 8,000 rpms with a fine 3" blade. Not sure what kind of cut you'd get with a miter saw. You could always buy an arrow squaring device to to square them up before you pop in your inserts. Cheaper than buying a saw.

+1 For the squaring tool I have the shop cut mine and then I bring them home and square the nock and insert ends then glue in my inserts if they have a insert like a aluminum or gold tip arrow I will also square the insert and then fletch them.

A problem with a tubeing cutter if it rolls the end of the arrow down if you use one you will have to ream the inside of the shaft and square the end before installing your inserts,they all so don't cut 100% square and have a habit of tracking while cutting. Still the best way is bring them to a pro shop and have them cut them. Also don't use a tubeing cutter on carbon rrows they will crush the end and take the strength out of the carbon.
