I tried it again last night on some regular insulated wire (the kind without the clear, easily breakable coating over the insulation) and it worked surprisingly well. Just gotta get the depth of the screw exactly right.

edit: I just had an idea. If I took a really thin blade & cut a thin line down the block of wood to the hole..... I bet I could stick a boxcutter blade in there at just the right angle & then clamp the wood (in a vice or clamp).... it may hold the boxcutter blade in place good enough to cut the insulation once passed thru.
