Not sure what you are calling burred but in order to get straight ends I mostly used a Dremel with a cut off wheel. There may have been a couple of cuts where it was a combination of wheel and snips.
The drilling of holes and actual reattachment of the new channel to the frame was more of a pain since I didn't have the proper hole punch or riveting tools to reach inside the channel. The holes were marked on outside by fitting in place and using the attachment pieces as a template. Done with a drill press with a block of wood inside the channel for support, Not the best way but worked. Once holes were in I used a combination of small flat head screws and nuts plus an occasional pop rivet to reattach. The flat head was to make sure the heads were somewhat buried in the felt and rubber so the glass won't touch any metal.
