It's a deburring tool. Good for cleaning up any sharp leftovers from milling, like around freshly drilled holes, pipes cut with a hacksaw, and whatnot.
You're not the first, nor will you be the last.
Desperate times calls for desperate measures.
Just be sure to debur (or use a metal file) or tape up the edges or you'll cut yourself on those sharp edges next time you have to mess with your computer.
i use one of these for everything.
I'm a fan of this one from General. It's got a nice solid aluminum handle. I can't stand the ones with the extra cutters rattling around inside. I mean, you have a toolbox you can store those in.
I don't think so, really. It is essentially just a pivoting curved, sharp knife. Think of it as creating a very small chamfer on the edge. Plus, it is a lot harder to slip up and really mess up the other side.
Looking at /u/supertroop 's post, the thing I am thinking if is different. Here's what I am think of. I think the one above does both sides at once.
I'd be worried about it catching on the edges of the hole. But I suppose if you used a deburr tool on it you could round off those edges.
a Deburring Tool is a tiny rotating drag knife that's perfect for cutting off brims
A solid pair of Flush Cutters is great for removing support and cutting filament blobs off before inserting into a hot end.
Interesting, I'll check out the thread. I have a lot of experience with ABS. It sure is stinky, but not toxic (unless you don't have any exhaust...). But I guess everything is toxic if there's enough of it ;-)
ABS can cut quite well, it does leave a tiny melted edge, but most of the time I just use a deburring tool to get rid of the edge.
Pro tip: use a deburring tool to cut the string. Much easier to get "into" the loop than with a knife.

I use a Dremel 124 then Deburr with a hand loading tool that I have. You can get a cheap deburring tool.
