Ive done it to a few rods. I also use keep the dremel stationary and rotate the blank. It can be a little shaky trying to move the dremel

tape it, mark it, put on a mask and chop saw it. Works awesome. Use this technique on the butt section ONLY.

A file works well for both ends. Work your way around the blank..

I assume you're talking a cut-off blade?
If you're just doing one, I'd do it by hand...that way it's nearly impossible to screw up.
