"apply tourque to members with specialized techniques in a very contraolled environment"... I knew this woman years back.... Oh, wrong forum ;-)
I do like the chainsaw idea! I'll have to sharpen mine up and try it out... Wait, did I read that right? ;-)
Seriously though. The Dremel is simply a tool. Any butchering that may happen can't be blamed on the Dremel. What we hope for is that anyone taking a Dremel to a camera part know what they're doing.
I've recieved some pretty bad jobs from 'pros' too. Which is why I have a Dremel...
One thing noone (including myself) has mentioned is the tiny metal filing that will be produced by either the file, saw or Dremel. Some precautions should really be taken to NOT allow them into the shutter. I would worry more about this than slightly cutting into the shutter threads. But the idea about using the screw drive to do the split before the shutter threads are reached is right on!
As with any camera self-repair: if in doubt, send it out...
