The other thing is that there should never be any high tension force on a derailer cable when it hits the road.

Especially with regard to the lo-limit screw setting, one should always adjust so that no added force is needed to shift to the largest cog, else the cable becomes prone to rapid fatigue in use.

So again, there should be no need for any housing cut finishing, and the usual pre-stress prior to final adjustment should amply suffice.

This from someone who did cut some of these housings using a Dremel back in the day!
