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 section
I note several responders found the price to be high. Is it?
A brief look on BRS found standard T shaped plugs to be 30 to 40 cents per plug.
The real reef rock is 50 cents a plug, is the color of my rock work, and does't require transfer.
Each piece has at least one predrilled hole for the base of the frag.
You won't get this hammering cheap dry rock, or at the beach.
Since I don't generate a lot of frags, my bucket has lasted several years and is still half full.
No - I don't get a kick back for promoting this product. I just like it.
I wish I could buy my coral on this, or something similar, that I could just glue or epoxy down.

Yesssss... those things are made out of Titanium or Adamantium... virtually indestructible!!...the WOAT!!
I ended up trying a few more methods, none of which worked... stood on bone cutters, bought tile nippers, and new cutting pliers. I gave up and ended up just wedging the frags into crevices. Not exactly where I want the zoas, but close enough and I'm tired of trying to figure out how to cut these plugs.
The plugs are stamped. They are Reefing Art plugs. They are the white ones in this link:

Is it a wet type saw? You’ll want to use something that has water running through it to keep the heat down
