No way I'm using a tubing cutter to cut carbon arrows. It ain't worth the risk of that one arrow exploding and going through my hand/arm.
$80 is pretty cheap insurance against that.
I been thinking bout that too. I don't think I'll risk it. Thought about it, but it's not worth it

I tried the tubing cutter, it worked but as it finished cutting I had some carbon fibers on one side will 'holding-on' and I just snapped them with my fingers. If it had been an arrow I'd be shooting, I think I could have made the last cuts with a single edge razor blade and been a little cleaner. It definitely works.

If you ran over a carbon arrow with your truck tire, the tire and truck will be safe. You blast the same shafts out of your bow a mere inch from your eye! Is it that volatile? Worst thing you could do is go to fast, against the posters instructions, maybe have a dull blade, and end up with a rough cut end. You should not have ANY emergency room bills here. If you do, step away from the tool box, and list your bow on Ebay. I liked the idea of a poster practicing on a bad arrow. That's just common sense. Oh, and don't use anything but Harley oil in your Harley. You'll ruin it, the engine will cease up, and the world will be a bad place. At least accoring to Harley. They also have people in an "I'm scared to try it mode". Helps with the bottom line. I like people who are do it yerselfers and can think through a fix, instead of tossing money at it, regardless of their personal finances.
