I agree. Also, I don't care much about the uniformity of heights, but for some reason I do like to get them "square".
After this discussion, I'll probably try to make my first "swipe" go all the way around. I just ope ever tenth let er in my p sts doesn' disappea !
P.S. For my "system" the blade also has to be long, like more than six inches. That, plus being inaccurate, makes the "swipe" go fast. If I wanted a uniform height, I would do exactly what you do: one rough cut with a blade, then scissors or snips to make it precise.
The "little rotary saw" to cut slits is a great idea. Do you use a Dremel tool, or hand drill, or what?
