Default Sch 40 Weld Fittings Fitup Problems

Well I was putting together a log manifold, and have a small issues with inside fit up. I'm using sch40 fittings. The way I cut the tee's and the 90's there is a ridge on the inside of the pipe about 1/16" all the way around.

Does anyone have a way to grind this ridge off? Being stainless I have a feeling its not going to be easy to remove alot of the material. Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks!

Problem is actually getting in the runners. They are welded up. I used a bandsaw to cut the fittings.
