Default cutting antenna

Ok, so I want to cut my stock antenna, and was wondering if a dremel would be strong enough to cut through it, and if super glue would be good enough to hold the ball on the cut antenna. Any help would be appreciated.

Its made of Stainless Steel so its kinda tough.
A pair of big linesmans cutters would do the trick or a hacksaw.
Superglue is not good on non porous surfaces.
Maybe some JB weld. The antenna is tapered so
if you pull the ball off the smallest of the taper at the top
and try and put it back on midpoint of the antenna, it wont fit.
The antenna needs to be ground down in diameter to
fit the OEM static/anti eye poker ball.
Thats what short antennas become -Dangerious eye pokers.
Got kids?

LOL....yeah I have kids, but none small enough to be curious enough to try to climb on the hood of the car. Well, instead of starting another thread, I have a second question that I hope someone can answer. I'm gonna get an aftermarket front bumper, either a SS gen 1, or the cali dream and I want to put fogs on the lower grille. Can I buy a grille that has the cutouts for fogs (something like the eleanor grille), or do I have to make cutouts? Thanks in advance.
