The butt plate is on threaded rod. The two nuts on either side can be adjusted to get the desired length. Lengthen by loosening the left nut...then tighten up on the plate with the right. Just the opposite to shorten...  |

Ok I had to think of somthing today as I wanted to cut the kids arrows and wanted them all the same length not close but the same length. I took a piece of shelving I had laying around and put a stop on one end to put the arrow against  I would then take an arrow that was cut to the length I wanted and pulled the nok out of it and put that end on the bord and moved the saw back and forth untill all was lined up.   once you have it all figured out clamp the saw down.  put in an arrow.  and cut it off.  and you have nine more arrows that are all the same length.  I never thought about it untill I had the saw unclamped but I should have marked were the saw was so I could put marks (like a tape measure) on the board for future placement of the saw at different lengths. It was easy and worked very well. Portable enougth to take with you as well. Raw shaft ready to cut.  |

SL, are you leveling that shaft, so the saw cuts square? It kind of looks like the cut is slanted in your pic, but it could just be the angle...  |

I agree...put another board on the first backer and make a nock acceptor by using a drill to make a shallow hole. Very good stilllearning  |

The saw itself has a flat leveler spot on it but your right you do have to be carefull.

Stilllearning...does that saw have a toothed blade on it, or is it a stone blade like a commercial arrow say?

Belive it or not it is a steel toothed blade that works realy well. I even went out and got a stone blade but dont need it with this saw. I figured when I got it that the arrow would fly apart when you tried to cut it with this blade ........ But it works very well. I is very fine toothed and I think that is what makes it work.

It looked like a toothed blade, and I was just honestly not sure how that would affect the carbon shafts, thats why I asked.
