I have found the easiest way for me to cut and debur my mandrels is using the corner of my grinding wheel. I mark the 308 or 316 welding rods with a sharpie. Turn on my bench grinder and use the corner or the wheel. I slowly turn the mandrel until it cuts through, takes maybe 15 seconds or so, depending on thickness. No burs, no hand strain from using cutters, no broken dremel wheels.
