How to Cut Arrow Shafts With a Dremel 

This was completely brilliant!!!! Especially how to cut twice at an angle then a second cut to the exact dimension. It saved me from buying and arrow saw. Man everybody has a Dremmel. Thanks

To make the cut perpendicular to the shaft. What i do is put the arrow end im cutting in a drill chuck. Then lightly tighten chuck while rotating the chuck to ensure no wobble. Once tighted enough so arrow is not spinning then i use a fine locksmiths file to score, eventually cutting the shaft while the drill is going at a low speed. Very fast and accurate with a nice clean edge finnish. To lock the trigger on the drill at the speed i liked i wrapped a fine copper wire around the handle and it depresses the trigger. Works great.

That works! I was thinking on purchasing a small 90⁰ mitre box off Amazon and just cutting mine with a hack saw. Then using my ASD arrow squaring device to true the ends. I'm like you, no shop near so I DYI everything and I enjoy doing it. Thanks for posting

Nice and yet simple. I like the safety goggle idea and the vacuum. That's just smart. Good job!

I was thinking of how to use my dremel this exactly what I was looking for!

This is badass!! Way to think outside the box and save some money!

I've been doing mine almost the same as you, but I have a home made arrow spinner made of four skateboard bearings and I clamp something to stop the arrows at the same spot so they can't move backwards in the spinner. I also clamp a small angle iron where I want the arrows being cut and hold the dremel by hand gently against it. I get super consistent cuts this way and the arrows end being cut straight and the length is excactly the same to a tenth of a mm.

Super simple. Love it!🏆👍🏻

Thanks for the info! You got a new sub!

Nice video 👍

Will it work with carbon arrows

What is the Dremel cutting disc's number? U didnt mention carbide. Prob nt make things more square 90degrees? But effective basic video. Thanks

Get an arrow squaring tool to finish up

What blade did you use to cut with?

Hey are you a Coastie? Looks like a coast guard license plate in the top corner of your shed.

I always wondered by the sheer mass of "cut your own arrows" videos none of the participants wears a mask. as far as I know cutting carbon is nearly as poisonous as asbestos. dont you know or dont you care?
