Rough edge around one of the hammer pin holes

Just finished my first 80% lower using your jig and a practice generic lower. It's not perfect but way better than I expected! I think I can say with confidence the sloppiness is the result of a crappy Ryobi drill press. After a few adjustments it cut very well but the depth stop is horrible and left the bottom of the pocket with some dimples due to the inconsistency of the depth stop. Oh well...live and learn! I think it's purely cosmetic.

On one side of the lower (hammer pin hole) there is a slight raised jagged edge. All the other hole surfaces are very clean and smooth but this one is slightly raised and jagged when running a fingernail over it.

Is there a good way to smooth this down without scratching up the finish? I can sand or file it but obviously that will ruin the anodizing. 

Any suggestions for a newb?

Re: Rough edge around one of the hammer pin holes

Disregard.  Got it sorted out.  Apparently the burrs were barely hanging on.  Lightly hitting the edges of the hole with a pocket knife took the gnarly ring right off, and no damage to the finish....well, until that damn bolt catch roll pin .... son of a B
