Yes you sure could do it with a round (rat tail) file. It won't take THAT long.

I use an electric die grinder, but they are $300.00.

Bring it by the shop, I'll do it for free.... :)

The outside should have been cleaned off with a wire wheel. You can do it with a wire brush, SS preferably.

Just a little heads up when cutting keg tops with a plasma. Fill the keg with water to about 1 inch from the top. That way no blow by will stick to inside of the keg.

If you have some slag inside a keg first is not to make any difference in your beer. If its causing you pain take some wet and dry paper, use water and sand to your happy face. I would start with 220 grind and go up in number and finish with a scuff pad and BKF.

I use a fixture I made that cuts a near perfect 12 circle with the plasma and hardly any clean up of the edge. What's nice it take about 30 seconds cutting time and a heck of lot saver than a cutting wheel.

Yeah I didn't really know anything about plasma cutters, causing the burns. I figured the guy who did the keg, knew what he was doing. Obviously not.
