Round Hacksaw Blade For Self Nocks
Bevan R.:
Bandsaw first, then a tinny round file to shape the base of the nock then an emery 'fingernail' file to shape the throat. If I do it right, I make a snap nock modeled after the nirk nock.

Hi Folks, I use a multistep process. I have a hack saw with 3 standard blades all mounted together. I use that to cut to depth. I use an old broadhead sharpening file the clean up and round over the bottom edges and then use a rattail needle file to widen the bottom for a snap nock type effect. Ron

Yep, I use the round hacksaw blade. They call it a carbide... something... blade. Sorry I don't have the exact name. ;)
I'll generally use a normal hacksaw blade for a guiding cut then widen it with the round one.

I also use hack saw blades. I cut 3 same leanth tape together. But the center blade I face the teeth the other way just startsand cleans itself a little better.. Finish up with a file.

tile saw then sandpaper,its also a good idea to wrap the shaft with a little masking tape prevents any splitting.
