Three hacksaw blades
Minuteman:
I'm with Jack crafty on this one. Tile cutting blade works great and they are cheap too.
Hillbilly:
I had the same problem as Eddie-couldn't keep the cut straight. I usually make an initial cut with the bandsaw or a hacksaw, then follow the cut with the round rasp. I've used those tile blades too, and they work good.
TRACY:
I like the options with your setup rick. I just use a small flat file and then a small round file with sandpaper for the finishing touches. I do more damage with the hack blades and no good at all with any power tools ;D

Scowler:
I use a Dremel with a cutting wheel for cutting the nock. I then use two small files (flat and round) to widen the nock, and three levels of sandpaper (60 grit, 150 grit, and 220 grit) to shape and finish them. Using hacksaw blades takes too long for me.
PeteC:
I agree with Jackcrafty and minuteman.The tile saw is the best tool for self-nocks I've ever used.(And I've tried em all).If you use cane for arrows,and like your nock to end up in a node,you can use the little groove under the node as a guide,and cut a straight nock.Then ,use the saw to enlarge the bottom,to near string diameter, to make perfect snap nocks. God Bless
