Amazon link to a debuting tool. It uses sharp harder metal to cut off sharp metal edges.

I strongly recommend against using a deburring tool on a Macbook. IMO OP has picked their tools with perfect consideration.

These tools are made to remove burrs resulting from machining processes. They are very useful for quick&dirty jobs on bore holes or rough edges where optics don't matter, but they lack the precision for sensitive work.

Anybody who's not very well versed in using a deburring tool is just about guaranteed to produce a terrible result that will only take longer to sand out than approching the task with files and sandpaper from the start.

Agreed. Deburring tools also frequently “catch” and dig in if you’re not careful. Especially on soft aluminum. Use a file if you’re going to do this.

Not as bad as I would have thought, but I would still go OP's way if I wanted to do this.
