YES!!  I did that many years ago.  It was sort of like a plasma torch.
Sliced those little vanes right off!!  They were just some thin clear
plastic.  I always wanted to try 20 mil alumina of hybrid fame but never
got around to it...  Many nice rotary gaps use a spinning conductor between
the stationary tips with good results.
