well the reason i want it clean is because i only have so much and cant be scrapping pieces because they're all @!#$ty, i have enough for my kit and thats pretty much it with little to spare, thats why i want it cut clean, and because i like the job done right the first time.

Dremels cost like 30 for the cordless base model and somewhere around like 80 for the best... at least around here.
