Thanks Mr. Jan. So I guess the abrasive abrades away the burr.
"burnishing...surface smoothing without metal removal."
Ick! That sounds bad. However, could that "tiny movement of steel near apex" cause thinning of the already very thin burr material causing it to tear off? That seems a bit of a stretch (pun intended) and to me abrasion makes more sense.
If I were to proceed on that assumption, then I guess what I need to do is to find the finest abrasive possible to remove burr with a minimal amount of surface smoothing. I wonder just how fine an abrasive would work.
