Sanding down...

My quest to get better at painting minis continues! I have started buying custom bases because they look so much better than the plastic ones (the ones from Scibor for example). But sanding down the mini, especially with the larger ones like trolls and such gives me cramps with the small file that I have.

So how do you guys get rid of the metal thing that sticks into the base slot (what is that called anyway?)?

I use a nipper to cut away most of it, but filing it down takes ages. Are there better tools for that?

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

I cut most of it with a cutter, then trim as much as I can with a blade. Normally after this very little remains, that is taken care of with some files.

I didn't have to use it for a long time, but if needed I have a dremel nearby, that can help a lot.
