Thanks! Great simple jig! For a first (and only) arrow-shortening rough cut, if the arrow is angled enough (by hand) to avoid hitting the rotary tool, a diagonal cut could then be made at the place that will allow the next and final cut to be made normally. No need to make "several" arrow-shortening cuts first. That would help speed up the cutting process and minimize the total amount of carbon fiber dust too.

@@micro-pigoffroadclub8387 Update. Last weekend I made my own (even lower-dollar) design. Yours is Toyota-production-line by comparison, mine closer to Fred Flintstone territory, but with electricity instead of dinosaurs. I successfully shortened a coupla dozen arrows in abut half the time it took to build the rig. Then I had a moment of inspiration (with one arrow left to cut). I took 6 inches of duct tape (the original 'Dark Matter' that holds the universe together), and used it to lock in place - just next to the cutting disc, and away from the operator - the open end of the hose from our vacuum cleaner, so that all the carbon dust other viewers have commented on, just gets sucked away from the operator, and safely bagged - instantaneously. And if you power the vacuum cleaner* and the Dremel from the same multigang extension, you can switch the two devices on and off simultaneously from a single switch. * ADVISORY: Before adapting the vacuum cleaner it may first be necessary to seek the permission of your steady-handed camera operator. This viewer will not be held liable for any consequence ensuing from failure to observe this advice.

I’m really glad this helps you out brother. I have been cutting arrows with the same saw ever since I built it. To be fair, I recommend taking your vacuum cleaner or shop vac and sucking the carbon away from the cutting wheel while you trim down those arrows. Definitely don’t want you to breathe in anything that could cause harm.
@kaleyfantastic
@kaleyfantastic 3 жыл бұрын
you could probably get straighter cuts if you put the saw on a moving block. cut grooves and make tracks with a router. then keep the arrow still and slide the cutter.
@micro-pigoffroadclub8387
@micro-pigoffroadclub8387 3 жыл бұрын
I appreciate the comment! There’s definitely room for improvement on this saw, but I built it pretty quickly to get the job done. The straighter cut is not a problem with this design because once you swing the arrow in, it’s cutting at its shortest point on the inboard side. Once the nook is set and you rotate the arrow, it turns the outboard longer cut to the inboard position. The difference was only .027 inches and once the arrow was rotated against the side of the abrasion wheel, it was true. Plus, when you slide the insert down into the shaft, it’s easy to see that it is cut pretty square with this configuration.

@micro-pigoffroadclub8387 7 жыл бұрын
Mike Wratten thank you for the suggestion brother and thanks for watching. The saw definitely has room for improvement but it works pretty well in its rough form. the friction discs wear out really fast so to get multiple arrows out of a disc you have to stay into the cutting wheel a little bit. I tried it with just the tip of the wheel touching the edge of the shaft and because those little discs wear so fast you only get a few cuts out of a disc before it is too small a diameter to pass through. I'll probably mess with it some more and experiment with your suggestion on my next set of shafts. I also need to put aluminum angle in the Valley of the blocks. when you rotate the carbon shaft against the wood there is friction and it doesn't turn as smoothly as I would like.

I have a hard time with this as well because I usually use Gorilla Glue. I'm going to try a less aggressive glue to see if I can perfect my method of removing the inserts. As it is right now, I usually stick a drill bit with the blunt and down in the back end of The Arrow shaft where the knock is. I then swing it so that the centrifugal force makes that drill bit smack the back end of the insert to push it out. If I do just two drops of glue instead of going all the way around, there's usually enough Force to push the insert back out without mushrooming the backside. Sounds like I need to do a video LOL

I usually do lay the hose of a wet dry vac behind the blade when I cut. Just didn't do it in this video. I understand the risk of breathing carbon, but to be honest none of it even comes your way. The rotation of the blade is throwing the carbon behind the saw and unless you have a fan blowing it right back in your face you're not breathing any significant amount. Driving around a big city and breathing in smog is going to kill a lot more people than this will.

Thank you for the comment! It is a cheap but effective tool. I definitely recommend protecting yourself from the dust that comes from cutting the arrow but it does work. Why pay a shop $2 per Arrow when you can easily cut them yourself? Thank you again

Excellent video, BUT......Safety first, put a vacuum cleaner next to the cut off section, so that carbon dust doesn’t go on to your clothes and into your lungs.

I agree. I was pretty excited to show that it worked when I made the video. I normally use a vacuum or do it outside with a small fan blowing the carbon dust away from me.

If there is no vacuum available, I would suggest a Covid mask! If it keeps us safe from the virus, it should definitely keep us safe from carbon dust.

Ok i did it, I copied your idea and made my own. My goal was do make it with whatever scraps i had laying around and recycle wood and screws from other projects. Total cost was $1.47 for the yardstick. I'll have a video up soon. I also came up with a cool way to get the inserts out. I have that video posted

FYI, I see a lot of people doing this online but I have heard it's VERY BAD for your lungs to breathe carbon fiber dust. I would use a shop vac to suck that dust up as you are cutting just for safety sake, also safety glasses are a plus.

Yes thank you. I have a vacuum that normally sits behind the blade. This video was made indoors but prior to the vacuum I usually would cut outside and the played naturally spins the cut debris away from the saw to the back.

Before you do any more cutting - install a vacuum! Carbon dust is very bad for you, even if you are a tuff guy...

Wear a corona mask! It will certainly protect you from carbon dust as well. I can certainly appreciate the push for safety, but if there are people cutting their own arrows, I would assume they would have the sense to make their own decision.

@@micro-pigoffroadclub8387 A "corona mask" will not filter out carbon dust. Airborne carbon dust will also settle on your skin and go in like thousnads of micro porcupine spines. They will not come out. People can make their own decisions but in this case the decision is not made out of sense, it's ignorance.

@@Thestripper1 Feel free to live your own life. If you took time to read the rest of the comments on this post, you would see that I advocate for a vacuum system. As mentioned, if people are willing to cut their own arrows, I would have to assume they are intelligent enough to consider safety precautions.

@@Thestripper1 Because if they don’t have the common sense to consider the risk of airborne particulates, they shouldn’t be touching any type of saw at all! This video was intended to show how a few dollars worth of supplies could make an arrow cutting saw. As with all things in any type of industry, there is research and development. Products, especially homemade products can be elaborated upon at the builders discretion. Aside from that, this is still America. My body my choice right? I see videos on base jumping that can easily take a persons life, but I would not choose to do it. At the same time, I don’t comment on their videos telling them how to pack their parachute. Thanks for your comments by the way And have a blessed day.
