home made arrow saw

[huntergreg]

well I made this tonight. Only cost me $13 for a few parts I didn't have laying around. I used an old sewing machine motor and used 2 clamps to attach it. Not the prettiest but it works great.

right on man thats cool

[Todd_ID]

Very cool!  What RPM does that sewing machine motor run at?  Might have to think about looking for one.

[huntergreg]

not sure. Doesn't say anything on the motor. I put it in a vice and turned it on and cut a few broken shaft and it made perfect cuts.

Sewing machine motors do the trick - that is a nice set up, huntergreg.  Your saw may not be "pretty," but it isn't "ugly" either - and the price was right. 

I put together a DIY saw that has been working like a charm - cost me about $38 in materials (it helped to find some of the stuff on sale).  I got the idea to use the "modified" clamp from another archery site.  Here's my recipe using a rotary tool:

"4-Speed Rotary Tool" (Harbor Freight) $18
A modified "24" Clamp" (http://www.harborfreight.com/24-inch-clamp-and-cut-edge-guide-66126.html) $10
Aluminum Measuring Stick $2
Rotary cutting disc - diamond (came in a set of 5) $5
U-bolts to hold Rotary Tool $2
A platform made from wood and screws I had laying around

The gray "tube" shown in the one photo is a vacuum attachment to control carbon dust - keeps things clean and safe.

I made one very similar out of an olsd dremmel tool. works great!
