Excellent idea. The challenge to Darren (and others of similar bent) is to see if he can jig up something like that with his dremel, including stops for the small pieces and pushsticks to save his fingers.

I have had hundreds of hours experience with 4" and 4.5" grinders. Enough to respect them. It is possible to debur the strips with a wire wheel, but only with everything EXACTLY right, the anchoring of the workpiece, the angle of attack, the type of brush, EVERYTHING.
It seems that the best way for me to proceed is to just stick the end of each strip in a vise and use a file on both edges, before turning the strips around to do the other half.

However -- if you bring up their home page, and enter the catalog number ("05752100" -- found in the URL above after "PMITEM=", you get the item in question.
That overhanging black part is a good thing -- it protects your knuckles from being cut by the burrs if you slip.
That finger guard is also the guide for the sheet metal - hold it so that the edge of the sheet metal is laying in that groove in the finger guard and that puts the cutting discs at the proper angle and keeps you from digging divots as you stroke so the edge looks pretty after you deburr it. You can also rotate the cutters to expose fresh edges as they wear, and adjust their spacing to optimize the cut for different thicknesses of sheet metal.

Brrp! Sorry. I figured a catalog page reference was safe.
O.K. It still fails (on a Sun Blade 2000 with Solaris 10 as the OS) on Opera, and on Firefox, but it does work on Mozilla. (Obviously, no way to try it with the Microsoft Explorer on this system. :-)
And my early 1960s Sears Craftsman 1/2" drive ratchet with the quick release button still works -- even though I abused it for years hoping for an excuse to get a fine-tooth ratchet version to replace it. :-)
And -- the Sears air compressor (from an estate sale a few years ago) still works fine -- once I disassembled and cleaned the regulator. Of course, this is an oil wetted one with a belt drive to the pump, not one of those terrible oilless noisemakers. :-)
