I'm always worried about that little bit of excess friction the burrs 
may produce and excessive wear on the wippen cushion. To remove the burr 
quickly I use a cup/cone shaped wire brush for the Dremel tool. Place 
the brush on top of the capstan and produce a wide circular motion with 
the Dremel tool. Goes fast, polish with your usual method.
