I participate in the sport of Archery and in this modern world we use carbon arrows. These arrow shafts are of very high tolerance. To cut the shafts to length we use very high speed rotary saws. Similar to a Dremel but in a jig. Use of a traditional saw is not recommended by the manufacturers. My son has just purchased and expensive carbon fibre racing bicycle. To cut the seat post the manufacturer suggest a fine tooth hacksaw. Will this be OK? Many thanks.

A fine tooth hack saw seems to be the popular recommendation in the cycling world - maybe because there are few times a cyclist needs to cut anything so they cannot justify buying rotary tools for the job? However, if you have the rotary tool and can fit the seat post in the jig I don't see why it wouldn't work just as well. 

Best of luck with the project!
