I can recommend working with wire brush cups/wheels.
The strands of wire, which are about the same weight as the strands of brake cable, get pinged off in all directions and show up randomly in your socks, shoes, pockets, carpets, hats, gloves…
I could probably count on the fingers of one hand the parts of my body I’ve not pulled bits of wire out of.

I can recommend matching titanium on a milling machine and lathe inside your house. The swarf gets everywhere, despite all the efforts to contain it, is fine and very sharp, and isn't magnetic. It is, as a result, a total bugger to get out of your feet after a bit gets stuck in your socks.

I made this mistake 3 years ago in a carpeted living room. Have had it professionally cleaned, we vacuum regularly, and we still find bastard wires stabbing us from time to time.
That cable didn’t look too frayed. A gentle touch with one hand turning near the pinch bolt and the other hand gently pinching the ends between twists would minimise the chance of transdermal eventualities.
