I couldn't get my flash to work bur here are some pics anyway ----
This is the saw
Pic from the end
I mounted it on a 7"X30" board that I had from a shelf .I bought a couple pieces on 1"X1" square poplar for the jig and an 8' screening wood strip to butt the jig against . I made sure the screen strip was perpendicular to the cutoff blade .I cut a couple of the 1"x !' pieces and put them between the longer pieces . Then I ran them down the table saw a few times to make a groove to hold the arrow. The arrow doesn't touch the bottom of the groove . I did it this way to accomodate different diameter arrows. Bought a dollar tape measure , cut it and screwed it to the jig allowing for the distance from the end to the saw blade .

Here is the 1" block to hold the nock
I had originally used the metal blade and the tape measure was set for that . I switched to a wider abrasive blade and have to shim the jig out now.Here is the shim that I will fasten to the jig.
Abrasive blade
The whole thing ran me about $36 - $38 . I could have gone to Gander Mt and had a dozen arrows cut for $3.25 but this way I can have the satisfaction of doing it myself .
