I am starting to come to the realization that this work is beyond me, and short of finding someone who can grind the edge down for me (which I would assume would not be a cheap endeavor) I will put these blanks in a drawer and move on. I am in Los Angeles.
Thanks for all the advice, it is most appreciated.
