Miter saw for carbons

Anyone ever tried using a miter saw with abrasive blade to cut off carbon arrows?

No reason why it wouldn't work, just square off the ends with an ASD.

Most carbon arrow manufacturers recommend a saw with RPM's of 5000 or above, so if your miter saw does that there is no reason it won't work.

Yes,
I have cut both carbons & aluminums with a mitre saw and a thin cutoff blade. You have to cut very slowly or the carbons will get some splintering. (more like fuzz on the edge)
