Patrick,

For the best cut, I'd use an abrasive cut-off wheel in my miter saw (10" slide compound).  This will have a slightly larger kerf than a hacksaw blade, but the cut will be smooth and straight...

Hey all,

I need to cut a paddle in half (fiberglass shaft). I am getting it
converted to a two piece. Anyone have any tips on the type of
saw/blade to use? Thanks!
