What would a "pro" use?  And finally... lets just say you wanted to cut only the

PS. I also posted this to rtl, because I do happen to know, not mentioning any
names (*cough*Dave*cough*) ummm I mean "someone" has cut a few tracks in his

not sure how you would cut just the metal without cutting into the plastic
unless you disassembled things or were VERY careful with your cutting
