I have a 2" long, 1/4" square Cobalt tool bit I have ground for cutting
internal threads with a boring bar.
The bit is too long to fit in the hole in the work.
My Dremel cut off wheel is very slow, and grinding an inch off would be
worse.
TIA

Be careful what you pray for, it can happen.


Use a parting wheel to notch the tool all around and then give it a sharp
hit with a hammer. Place a piece of aluminum shim under one end so the cut
is not supported. Should break cleanly at the parting line. A parting
wheel should but fairly fast---you might find you want to just cut it in
half with one.
