    Another 2c.

    A very fine tooth woodworking saw, like a dovetail saw, would work fine. Keep the angle nice and shallow to the surface and take your time.
    Mask off before starting, etc.

    Carefully sand the edge smooth and then you can use a flame from a gas torch to seal the edge up again. Keep the torch moving or else it will burn.

    I've done four successfully with an angle grinder. it works very well kind of half cutting half melting it's way through and an amazing amount of control can be had if you practice first. A smooth metal cutting disc is best, no grab.

    Good luck.
    Oh bugger
