Default Insert removal question

The arrows I currently shoot are Carbon Express Terminator Lites (4560's). They're 29" long and I want to cut them down to 27 1/2" long (my draw length is 28" and I shoot thru a whisker biscuit). I've already cut down some of my arrows to 27 1/2" from the nock end when I had to refletch. I was wondering if I willdo any damage to a carbon arrow by removing the insert using a method Iread abouton this site. Put a piece of carbide (a 7/32" drill bit works great) inside the shaft and "whip it" towards the insert end thus driving out the insert. I've donethis with some arrows that were un-shootable and it works great. I've got some arrows that won't need refletching any time soonand would like to get them all down to 27 1/2".
Any, and allopinions are welcome.
Thanks,
Madjac
