Ouch...

Yeah you gotta love those band saws; clamp, ease the blade on, release the hydraulic and let it finish and auto stop when done lol

One of these: "a jewelers ????" Will easily take care of those internal burrs if you insist on a super nice cut... the nicer sharper ones are quite hazardous as they are extremely sharp and easily slip right into your hand cutting muscles and nerves
