Also, cover the bit of the rail you want to keep to avoid surface finish damage from hot sparks. Tape is fine, aluminium foil is fine.

One last addition? Don’t forget to deburr! Trying to slide a bearing or bushing onto the home cut end could be problematic. Once the cut is finished, use the grinder to put a SMALL chamfer on the end so you guarantee you don’t have any burrs sticking out past the original outer profile.

Well done! No circumcision is complete until the deburring is done.
