My fat finger is causing me some pain. I've tried liquid soap, soaking hand in iced water and using dental floss. If I had a Dremel I'm sure I could cut it off. Mind you, I've been wanting to do this the past year, but have been putting it off.
My Grandfather had the same problem, and I used a set of nippers to cut his off. I wouldn’t want to use a dremel, because it seems like it might be easy to make a slip and cut something you don’t intend to cut.
I had to take mine off several years ago when I broke my hand, and I haven’t worn one since.

I've thought about that also. I'm concerned I won't be able to cut completely through it and I'd have to deal with the jagged edges until it was removed.
If you can slip a thin, flat piece of metal underneath the ring for protection, the dremel could still work. I’d be concerned about heat generation, though.

I think I'm going to order a Dremel. I've had one before to build RC airplanes and construction work.
Yep, it'll work. Get one that's variable speed, run it nice and slow and cut in 2-3 sec increments for heat. Bet it works fine.I've been slim for 2/3rds of my life. I'm willing to lose a finger.
It seems like the string or floss trick is most successful. I wonder if you kept it wrapped for 10 or 20 minutes, if the compression from the wrap might shrink the finger a bit.
If you resort to cutting, slower is better, and you could run you finger in a stream of water while cutting.

I'm no expert but the floss method is all about the technique shown in that link.

What kind of man doesn't have a chainsaw?
