kovalchuk71 212 Report post Posted May 6, 2006 What do you guys think? Is there a different blade i should use for wodd and comp.? I want a straight cut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pantherfan 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2006 I dont know any specific blades but i would take your time and use a smaller toothed blade so it doesnt rip your shaft up as much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason Harris 31 Report post Posted May 6, 2006 Use a mitre box to help keep the cut straight. They cost about $10-$15 at Home Depot if you don't have one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LegoDoom 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2006 Looks a little pricey for cutting sticks. Well, I use it for cutting more than just sticks. There are a lot of cheaper (although smaller and not as powerful) ones out there, but if you're going to use it for anything else, then I wouldn't get a cheaper one.

TBLfan 25 Report post Posted May 6, 2006 be careful and instead of sawing all the way through; saw around the outside first. That way you don't chip pieces off the stick, plus it helps you keep a straight line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maka 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2006 For comp. shafts, Dremels work great (it's a little handheld rotary tool). I just used one on my new Dolomite OPS the other day. Like a hot knife through butter. The only problem is you have to have fairly stable hands because it's handheld, so there's no guide to ensure a straight cut other than your own manual dexterity.

pantherfan 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2006 I would also reccomend that you put the stick in a vice aswell to keep it stable but dont squash it too much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sn1per 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2006 At work, we use one of these: http://www.parktool.com/products/detail.as...=49&item=SG%2D6It's basically for cutting bike seatposts and fork steer tubes and it cuts straight every time. So simple, lock the thing down in a vice, insert your stick, lock that down, put your hacksaw (fine tooth preferred) in the slot and start sawing away!
