How to cut off a screw using a Rotary Tool

This 1/4" brass screw is going to be used on an MHS double threaded Jaded grips section, so I'll need to shorten it by about half. I'll use a rotary tool and a reinforced cutting wheel for the job.
I'll be using the 8-32 nut to secure the screw in the vise grips to prevent damaging the head of the screw, and to also help with maintaining the integrity of the threads:

I inserted the screw into the nut.....and then placed the nut/screw assembly into the vise grips:

I set the rotary tool to a high speed, then I used slow, steady pressure on the tool and carefully cut it off:

There we go! All shortened!
DO NOT TOUCH THE SCREW!!!! IT IS HOT!!!!
I'll use a pair of pliers to get the screw and nut out of the vise grips:

Now I'll use the Allen wrench to back the screw out of the nut:

This will also help to clean up the threads you just cut through.
And then install in into the double threaded Jaded extension:

Now the screws don't stick through into the inside diameter of the part, and you can easily fit an MHS speaker mount and battery pack in there with no problems:
