nock cutting..

aero86:
i dont know how you guys do it.  but i was looking for small round files today at home depot, while picking up a few packages of bamboo..(hehe), and the sets were 10 and 16.  while not bad, i just couldnt justify that price for just the one file.  so anyways, i just happen to go through the tile section and i found a tile hacksaw blade.  i dont remember the size, but there were only two sizes, its the longer one.  its a round blade that fits a regular hack saw. i should have kept the packaging for the size.  but anyways, it cuts the nock perfect for my string.  just thought id share.  and it was only like 4 dollars. 

Justin Snyder:
Go down to the power equipment section and look by the chainsaws. A chain sharpening file works great and isn't too expensive, it is what I have used from day one.

El Destructo:
I use a Chainsaw File for Bow Tip Nocks...but I have had mixed results on Arrows...too big a Slot for a 14 strand 2 ply String....I use Hacksaw Blades taped together...but I have tried the round Cable Saw Blade that Aero is talking about...they work good for Arrow Nocks...and they stay clean better than a Chainsaw File does....JMO

DanaM:
Band saw, a drill bit, and sand paper, guess I'm lazy when it comes to cutting nocks :o

Pat B:
These are my arrow making tools. As you can see I also have a ceramic saw blade set in an osage handle. I have use it some but not too much.
 Generally I will just make a single bandsaw cut and open and shape it with a thin blade knife and sand paper. I use the needle file to relieve the sharp edges to protect the bow string at full draw.
