Pencil popper question

I just made some pencil poppers, through drilled and cut the top of the pencil at a 45 angle. What do you guys think the best tool is to get that contour on the 45 cut? I tried a search but couldn't find what I was looking for. Tried a dremel but the attachments I had didn't cut it. I thought maybe a round file but didn't think it would work. Hope you guys can help me out. Thankyou, Will.

Try not doing it.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Thanks guys, I'll try both ways. I don't have a drill press but have a chuck for my lath that I drill with. I assume it should work. Thanks agian guys and Salty you make great plugs! My wife actually got me a few for x-mas.
