Nothing, really.
My shafts usually come 31 or 32" and I leave them full length. Would be nice for carbons, though. I shoot carbons with the Tamerlane.

I was in the same boat, I had a dremel tool so I was tinkering with building the best/easiest jig. Then I stumbled upon some good fortune and found out a local guy had his own arrow saw (why I have no clue, I dont think he cut 2 dozen arrows with it) either way all it cost me is a 6 pack of beer and I can borrow it anytime I like. :)

Have u decided what shaft you are going to use?

Or just go by Harbor Freight on your way home and save yourself $30! You round about like I do when I want something, $49.99 is not $40 lol. Add shipping and your at 50 or so. Harbor freight is same saw and u can get a 20% off coupon. I have and use one. Works fine.
