The cut marks are not being made by troff, but by direction of the macro 
package.  For example in the -ms macro package (/usr/lib/tmac/tmac.s) for
troff (ditroff is probably different, mine is in /usr/local/lib/ditmac/tmac.s),
there is a reference to the macro CM.  This macro generates the cut marks.

You can make this macro a ``noop'' by defining it in your input as null.
Viz. 	.de CM
	..

Or you can, as is often done in ditroff, only call it if the output is to 
a device like a Versatec that has continuous paper.

Happy printing.
