Of course a rat tail file or tapered reamer is the usual way, but I bought a 
deburring tool at the hardware store. It's a tiny crescent-shaped knife with a 
handle that you put into a hole and rotate. You can hold it at an angle to 
remove burrs from drilling, or straight to enlarge a hole slightly. It can be 
used on straight edges after sawing, too. It takes a very small bite and does a 
neat job.
