Depending on how much material you need to remove, a drum sander or rotary file in a drill or Dremel tool or high speed might be a good choice. Tin snips usually leave a rough edge and would only be used to trim to rough size. Using a soldering iron may work, but results may vary by operator talent. A jig saw or hand saw may work depending on the situation and choice of cutting blade. A plain flat or round file may work for some finishing. With any method, care in using the tool, and protection and support of the work piece are very important.
