Modsaw PRO vs Modsaw: Which Arrow Saw Is Right for You?
When it comes to building high-performance arrows, your saw is one of the most important tools on your bench.
A clean cut and properly squared shaft directly impacts insert alignment, broadhead flight, and overall consistency. That’s why choosing the right saw isn’t just about features - it’s about how much control you want over your arrow build.
If you’re deciding between the Modsaw and the Modsaw PRO, here’s a clear breakdown to help you choose.
Both Are Built for Precision
Before comparing differences, it’s important to say this:
Both the Modsaw and Modsaw PRO are capable of producing accurate, high-quality arrow builds.
Our flagship Modsaw has been a reliable, proven system for archers who want consistency and a straightforward workflow.
The PRO builds on that foundation, refining the process to improve repeatability and increase overall control.
Where the Modsaw PRO Goes Further
The PRO isn’t just an upgrade in parts; it’s an upgrade in workflow.
1. Brushless Motor Performance
The Modsaw PRO features a lifetime-warrantied brushless motor that delivers:
- Quieter operation
- More consistent cutting power
- Increased longevity
This creates a smoother experience at the bench and helps maintain precision over time.
2. Automatic Arrow Squaring with Linear Bearings
One of the biggest differences is the built-in automatic squaring system.
On the Modsaw, archers use a fine-grit sandpaper to square their cuts.
On the Modsaw PRO, squaring happens on the side of our diamond-coated blade, allowing for less time spent squaring per arrow and no sandpaper replacements. In addition, the squaring component utilizes a linear bearing system that enables smooth, precise movement along the rail. Don’t worry, your blade can handle countless arrow squaring without suffering from wear.
3. Upgraded Rear Rest with Track System
The Modsaw PRO introduces a rear rest mounted to an additional track for easy measurement adjustments, knock-in cuts, and easily repeatable cuts.
This matters when you're building multiple arrows and want each one to match exactly.
4. Foot Pedal Control
The modular foot pedal adds a new level of workflow control.
- Run hands-free for better stability
- Keep your saw at the ready without having to run it constantly
- Or switch back to thumb control anytime
It’s a small change that makes a big difference, especially for higher-volume builds.
5. Carbon Component Construction
The PRO incorporates carbon components to increase rigidity while reducing vibration.
The result is a more stable system that holds tolerances better over time.
