Can anyone tell me how to cut carbon shafts?

    If you don't have a cutoff saw, or a dremel tool, just use a hacksaw blade, and go easy with it.

    I've cut several dozen GT shafts using a hacksaw blade, and it worked just fine.
    Only drawback to it was how long it took, and the reason why I eventually built me a chop saw.

      I've used a small triangular file to work around lightly until it cuts through; then touch up on a piece of sandpaper.

        Ive used the little hand tubing cutters before. They work, just make sure light pressure a little at a time.

            Here you go... easy to make. You dont even technically need angle... you could use anything to press the arrow against, even a strip of wood.

            I have been using this for years.

            I would absolutely never use anything but a high speed cuttoff wheel to cut carbon. Tube cutters are crushing your shaft... low speed devices are splintering the ends as well. Yes they work... until they don't.

              Second the harbor freight chop saw, one suggestion after years of cutting high dollar graphite golf shafts, I would wrap some masking tape around the area to cut. It s easier to see the mark and graphite will splinter on you very easy.
