Another vote for the tile saw. That's the best I've found.

 I've used the 1" belt sander like shooter, also. I use that tile saw for abrading notches when I'm knapping.

Tile saw here as well....in fact I think I learned that little trick by reading some past threads on the subject.

Sounds like I'll have to look into getting myself a tile saw then :)

Cheap? I will like it ;D!

I did a test on a scrap piece of dowel with three blades ound together. I'll have to get used to it (I'm used to handles) but it's fast and simple. Hopefully I'll be able to get a tile saw, or get used to this.

Thanks everyone :).

I KNEW I'd be kicking myself :D!

They make a blade for a sawzall and for that has the same texture as those tile hacksaw blades.  It won't bend like the others and takes up very little room in my quiver.

I was looking around our shop for a block of wood to prop the tip of a bow I was straightenning when I came acorss another hacksaw. I looked at the small prongs and they were much, much longer than the one I'd tried previously. In a few moments it was working perfectly.

Thanks everyone, you've all been a great help :)!

Kegan,  I use a hack saw and three blades.  It works well for me.   One suggestion though.  I used to find tate sooner or later some saw dust would work ts way between the blades and then the cut would wander as the blades spread apart.  I put some epoxy glue between the blades before I mount them in the saw.  Nice smooth cuts and easy to finish up with a little sandpaper.    Ron

I noticed that one blade , due to the angle of the progns, was jsut a bit looser than the others. However, being my father's saw and blades, I felt it inappropriate to glue them up in such a permanent fashion. Instead I take a moment to check them, and use a bit of ductape to old them in place during the cut.

Here are a few tools I use for making arrows. I made an osage handle for my tile saw blade...but I still prefer a single bandsaw cut then open it up with a knife, files and sand paper. ;D

Pat-  Is the smaller darker wooden tool with the elongated hole for straightening?  And what is the longer lighter colored wood tool with the non elongated hole for?
