How do you cut slots for trade points?

If you get up to twelve beers and it still doesn't work you are probably doing something wrong ;) ;) ;)
Mesophilic:
Beer and sharp pointy things aren't so good a combo for me ;D
I think next batch I'll slot it before final trim length. Cut, nock, and fletch once satisfied with the point.
This ought to give me some wiggle room.

I always drink beer slower when working on things, you're just busy. I have to keep the cans in my Shiti can cooler. ;D
Mafort:
i use a metal a metal tube thats slightly bigger that my arrow shaft and cut a groove in the metal tubing thats straight and centered. i leave a 1/8th" wide bit of metal on the bottom so its not cut completely in half and i use that as a guide when cutting my slot for the trade points. just put in a vise and align it how you want it with the grain and start cutting.
BowEd:
Slick solution Mafort.I like it.
