Nope, you're doing nothing wrong. It does take a fair bit of time & a good few wheels to cut out a sawblade!

If using a dremel, you almost have to be using the reenforced wheels.
That said, while the dremel will do it, it is on the small side.  A die grinder with 3" cutoff wheel will last longer and cut much faster.
