I use a small ball rasp that is real fine SD! Fits right in the drill press of course! I will post a pic later if you want but it works great and I only have to touch it into the socket hole for a quick moment for finished result. Key is to make sure your socket depth is adequate to properly accomodate this treatment and have the eye sit just the way you want! Try catalogues like McFeeley, Woodcraft, etc.....can't remember where I bought mine?

A small router bit in a drill press gives a nice smooth finish too.
