Quoted from dendoc:

Can anyone do this without ruining the rail?

Some have reported dental floss will do the trick.

Old RGP threads exist on this method.

I'm debating upgrading to either piano wire--or possibly ripping a band-saw blade--and then simply sawing upwards with either, to possibly save the nice stainless rails on my AFM.

Still thinkin'.

Quoted from Nepi23:

I just buy new rails, they're cheap.

True, however original factory parts in virtually any hobby are generally always of higher quality in terms of fit and finish vs. reproductions--why I personally always prefer to re-use a nice original.
