Beveling top corners at ends of fret slots on a bound neck

Howdy all, can't seem to remember for the life of me now, how I used to bevel the top "shoulders" of fret slots at either end of an already-bound neck. I'm talking about right next to the binding without: A. popping the binding loose, B. chancing scarring the top edge of the binding, where I like nice clean fret end overlaps.
Any ideas ? Thanks,

Paul

I'm glad someone brought up just using the end of the file. I don't have a lot of experience fretting bound fingerboards and it never dawned on me to use a chisel to beveled the fret slots. When that come up, I thought I was doing it wrong. Like you guys, I justed used the end of my triangle file. I never notice that it was a problem. On the last one, I spent most of the time trying to get old glue out of the slot ends without knocking the binding off. Beveling the slot was the least of my problems.
