Cutting arrow shafts

[Travis55]

So I asked a while ago about the best fletching jig for my son to use to refletch his shafts. Now he is all in and wants to start building his own from blanks. He’s 11 so he needs to cut down the blanks. What’s the best arrow saw out there or easiest for an 11 year old to stay hooked on it?

Thanks in advance

Have the place where you buy em cut them.

Harbor Freight has a decent mini cutoff saw for cheap. Then square up the ends with an arrow squaring tool. G5 makes a good one. All of that would be under $100.

I got a Weston last year since nobody around me cuts them. Works well. Has a jig to to quick straight through cuts or precision roll cuts.

I have a Weston here as well. It does the job perfectly well. Although I'm sure it cuts it squarely, I always use an arrow squaring device anyway and clean up the area with acetone to get rid of all the fine dust.

G5 makes an arrow squaring device but I'm sure there's others in the market.

Have shop cut shafts until he gets older, avoid expensive mistakes.

Get him a saw. That's the way to learn. and, so what if he cuts one wrong. that's the way you learn.

If you have the $$$$$ than the Last Chance Revolution is probably the best saw on the market.
