Cutting lead on the band saw is a bad idea. Lots of lead dust spread about the place. Worse than just touching the lead.
I use a piece of wire bigger than the thru-wire. Usually do not have a problem with the hole closing up too much. On the few that I do, just shove a nail or other pointed object in there to open the hole a little. Drilling lead is also a bad idea, just like the bandsaw deal.
