FWIW, YMMV etc - I tried to cut a modern shifter cable housing with my Dremel once - one of the steel threads (which are not really intertwined in such housing) caught on the cutting wheel and pulled out. Been using my Park cable cutter to cut cables since - works fine even if some filing of the cut afterwards does help.
