Done it a lot of times, both cable housings and cables. Never melted anything. Advantage is, nothing gets squeezed. Disadvantage is the hassle of setting up the dremel and finding the right angle so that the precious paintjob of the frame doesn't get a spark shower.
This is why i got a good cutter...
