Mod Saw Arrow Saw Review (Mod Archery Modsaw)
First Impressions
The Mod Saw (Modsaw) is one of the newer arrow saws on the market, and it’s clearly designed with the “home shop guy” in mind. Right out of the box, it feels different than the typical budget saws—more refined, more thought-out, and honestly just cleaner.
Packaging, fit, and finish are solid. It has that “small batch, built with intention” feel rather than mass-produced junk.
What It Does Well
1. Extremely Quiet
This is probably the standout feature.
Multiple users and reviewers consistently call it one of the quietest arrow saws available .
That matters more than you think—especially if you’re working in a garage, basement, or late at night.
2. Clean, Consistent Cuts
Once you take less than a minute to figure out how to adjust the nock receiver, using the Modsaw is a breeze. The nock receiver has a handy arrow that eliminates guess work on how long of a cut you’re making on your shaft. This, coupled with the high speed motor, makes the process simple.
- High RPM (~11,000) motor
- Diamond-coated blade
- Stable rail system
The result:
- Smooth cuts
- Minimal splintering or fraying
- Very repeatable arrow lengths
Several users report no chipping and very clean finishes .
3. All-in-One Setup (Big Advantage)
This is where it separates itself.
The Modsaw isn’t just a saw—it’s basically a mini arrow workstation:
- Built-in squaring tool
- Arrow spinner / wobble tester
- Measuring stop system
- Vacuum port for dust
- Multiple arrow supports
Everything is integrated into one rail system .
That’s huge for guys who don’t want 4 separate tools cluttering the bench.
4. Compact + Clean Layout
- Long, narrow footprint
- Mounts easily to a bench
- Organized workflow (cut → square → spin)
People consistently mention the “tiny footprint with everything you need” .
5. Thoughtful Features
A few small things that matter:
- Dust collection port (carbon dust is no joke)
- LED light (on some setups)
- Adjustable stop for batch cutting
- Mid-rest to prevent shaft flex while cutting
This isn’t just slapped together—it’s engineered for actual use.
Downsides (Keeping It Real)
1. Newer Product (Less Proven Long-Term)
- Not decades of track record like some saws
- Smaller company (Texas-based startup feel)
That said, early feedback is overwhelmingly positive.
2. Price vs Budget Options
- Typically around ~$150–$230 depending on version
- You can get cheaper saws
BUT… most cheaper saws:
- Are louder
- Don’t include all the extras
- Require add-ons
So it’s more of a value vs price conversation.
Who It’s Perfect For
This is a great fit if you:
- Build your own arrows regularly
- Want a clean, organized setup
- Don’t want 4 separate tools on your bench
- Care about precision and repeatability
- Are working in a garage or shared space (quiet matters)
Final Verdict
The Modsaw is one of the most well-thought-out arrow saw systems currently available.
Biggest strengths:
- Quiet operation
- Clean cuts
- All-in-one design
- Compact footprint
Biggest weakness:
- Very lightweight. Should be anchored with supplied feet.
- Due to the nature of extruded aluminum, moving pieces can be finicky.
Bottom line:
If you’re building arrows at home and want something that feels like a mini pro shop in one unit, this is a really solid buy. For more information visit https://modarchery.com
