What Arrow Saw to buy?

If your a DIY guy, the harbor freight mini chop saw with some thin 2in cut off blades works well.

I have the Weston higher rpm model, I think it is 8000 rpm? It works well, has cut a lot of arrows without issue.
 
In the market for an arrow saw. Anyone with a good recommendation?

Ya, a Dremel tool. They have very high RPM's and thin blades that cut through arrows like hot butter. I clamp mine to my bench and have a hole drilled into the end of my bench to hold the nock while turning the arrow while cutting. Then square both ends and you're good to go.
 
Buy a Dedicated arrow saw, it money well spent. Any or the th 5k or 8k rpm saws will do the trick. Most are made by the same manufacturer regardless of the brand.
 
I also use a Dremel. I then true the arrow by inserting it through a block of 4x4 with a hole drilled in it on a drill press to make sure it's 90 degrees and stroking it on a flat surface on some fine Silicon Carbide (black wet/dry) sandpaper. I rotate the arrow as I stroke it on the sandpaper. A couple strokes and it's perfectly true. My flat surface is machinist's granite, but a small pane of glass will work equally well.

Just note that if you go the Dremel route, you need something to hold the arrow steady. I wedge mine into the crook of same angle aluminum. The nock end sits against a wood block.

I drilled a hole in the wood at the end of my work bench for the nock to sit in while I turn the arrows as I'm cutting just like on a regular arrow saw. Then I color the ends with a gray Sharpie and square them until all the coloring is gone. I just finished up a dozen BE Spartans yesterday. I've probably built 12-15 dozens doing them this way.

I do the exact same thing with a gray Sharpie! (y)
 
I built this one.l for about $40(not including the FAST square). Works excellent but if I had to do it again considering the time I put into this I would just spend the money on a factory product
