Looks like nice little saw. Is there a blade for this saw that will cut carbon shafts??

The unit comes with a metal cutting blade.
I would recommend that you buy an abrasive wheel that is 2" dia by 1/32" thick,designed for this unit.
That will cut both aluminum and carbon arrows/bolts.
Ebay has them listed at 5 abrasive blades for $8,plus shipping.
Since this unit does not have an extended support for a perfect right angle cut,one should have a small vee block set up at the right height,and at a right angle to the cut off saw for best results.
