I never thought about using a dremel. One of my first tools was glass cutters (nippers). I was told to buy them at the hardware store. I've been making beads for 13 years - the nippers still work perfectly. I have the round wheel kind and the straight edge kind (like this best). For same size bead I have a friend who marked her rod. I keep a brass gauge on my table and measure the base bead before I decorate - need to be about 1mm narrower but exact length. Before I put bead in kiln I check it again with the gauge. Works for me!
