I have always used a bench grinder to finish housing ends (both brake and shifting), then a Dremel with a pointed burr to open the inner liner. Sometimes, it was necessary to use a machinists scribe to grab the liner to make it easy to use the Dremel. Did it dozens of times a day.

Just twist the cable housing while grinding gently to make it square. It improves shifting performance and greatly improves brake feel compared to letting the housing end stay crooked.
