Removing burrs on pipe with a TIG torch

I always dread removing the burrs from the cut ends of stainless steel and aluminum pipe. Like most people I used a die grinder, which is dangerous and loud.

I started running a TIG torch over the wall of the pipe. Not only does the torch burn off the burrs, it gives the wall a nice radius with no sharp edges for stuff to get snagged on.
