    Cut the Ti ring on both sides, the same thing to do with any gold
    ring that you do not want to bend it into scrap metal. Carbide rings,
    haven't had to remove one, but replace one for a customer, who saved
    his hand when a very heavy object came down on his hand. The ring
    broke, but by then the crane had reversed, no damage to the hand.
    Any other ring would have been one more problem for the emergency
    room to remove while treating the hand. Carbide has NO flex any
    bending & it will break. One should be able to remove a carbide ring
    with a good size vise, compress it just slightly, remove the pressure
    & the pieces. 

    P.S. You can get diamond blades for your ring removal saw & attach
    it to your flex shaft.
