Go to a home improvement store like Home Depot. Go to the tile department and get a pair of ceramic tile nippers. They are used to make fine cuts on tile. They snip the stems right at the base.

Tile nippers. Lowes or Home Depot. Go to flooring/ tile sectionI'm having trouble removing the stems off frag plugs. I've tried bone cutters and a dremel. Any tips on how to remove the stem? They are zoas so I'm a bit hesitant on removing the zoas and gluing them onto a new plug.
Yesssss... those things are made out of Titanium or Adamantium... virtually indestructible!!...the WOAT!!Is it a ORA frag plug? Those are the worst.
Is it a wet type saw? You’ll want to use something that has water running through it to keep the heat downThis may sound unbelievable....
The diamond cut off disc didn't work. It started to heat up the plug to the point where the zoas started to melt, so I stopped. I have cutting pliers at home, didn't work. Bought the BRS cutter, no bueno. At this point, not sure what to do
Nothing I tried worked. I ended up placing the frags into crevices within the rock, so some of the frags did not end up where I really wanted them. I emailed the seller asking what type of plugs they used and offered the suggestion to switch brands. Got no response. Made a mental note to myself to never order from them again.@tbone28 What did you end up doing?
I have the purple ones and they're made out of unobtanium.
My dremel tool couldn't handle it, not even the little diamond blades - pretty wild.

We get it @Cell you are the strongest person alive! No need to show off!!!
Yeah, I would recommend anyone avoid the "reefing art" plugs. (that is the plug you had and I have)Nothing I tried worked.

Just trying to show it can indeed be done! Lol. I guess it was the wrong plug brand. I have reefing art plugs somewhere though so now I want to try them.We get it @Cell you are the strongest person alive! No need to show off!!!
You and I have had the exact same experience with this plug and its dominance over a diamond blade lolYeah, I would recommend anyone avoid the "reefing art" plugs. (that is the plug you had and I have)
Not sure what they're made out of but it's not ceramic - even though they claim it is.
I've never seen ceramic make a metal/diamond blade spark and stink of burning metal.
gym membership - more protein or ask your wife or GF to do it...This may sound unbelievable....

Ok so the Reefing Art plug was definitely a bit tougher than normal plugs, but still popped right off with my cutting pliers.
