many have already made fine suggestions. a fine file works well. a fine toothed hacksaw w/ light pressure works. and, a dremel works great. as mentioned, a mask is suggested due to the fiber dust created when using an instrument such as a dremel. applying one revolution of masking tape around the spot where you are making the cut helps in keeping fibers from being pulled or splintered. one thing to remember, once you cut a blank many manufacturer's warrenty on that blank is now void.
just because there are not many posts in the rod building forum doesn't mean we don't watch that forum.
ptjudejoe, have you ever seen a 50mm ceramic catch guide frame shaped like a oval? i am amazed that blank is still fine. it's back in tattoo's hands and for him to test it out.
