Is there a dremel tool that would cut off the peg in frag plugs?

I'm not familiar with Dremel.

you can get cut off wheels for dremels

Or you can get a Makita with a circular blade. I cut off all mine too. I hate that they stick out goofy. I wish more people would just put frags on round discs.

If it's a ceramic plug i just use metal cutters, the ones like pliers. They snat it right off

I use my bone cutter works just fine. Before I had a bone cutter I used a metal saw blade.

I use my electrical dikes on mine. Works fine.

If all else fails, hammer and chisel

Bone cutters for me... Quick and painless... As long as the ceramic end does not go flying off and hit anyone

Metal and plastic cutting disks are available for dremel.

I use a pair of channel lock pliers, enough pressure and the stems just pop off. Not as clean a break as with a dremel but it only takes 2 seconds.

Hmmm, I must have strange fingers or very cheap plus, I snapped them off with my fingers.... It's not a evenly flat, but it's close enough.
