The catch is that my pointiest cutters are a bit broad, and won't

fit down between the leads far enough to get a good cut. The ones I
have are Utica 582E angle tip cutters, similar to these:

Given the cost of a really good pair of cutters, and the generally

I'd

Does anyone have a particular make & model they can recommend?

Thanks!

0.5mm thick abrasive disc or cintride/"diamond" disc in a "Dremmel"

Thus throwing small conductive bits all over the board. No thanks...
