In the past I have used an angle grinder to sharpen powered hedge clippers. Does the job but can be a but fierce. Would a dremel or alternative do the job?

I would not use either. It's best to use a flat file.
I don't think I have ever found it necessary to sharpen a powered hedge clipper. I might have removed the odd burr from when I have hit hidden fence wire.
