I have a company I do aluminum signs for that recently decided they want all future signs to have rounded corners.
I have been rounding them with an electric shear to get by and it's getting a little old doing it that way.
I bought the base of a 1 1/2" corner rounder. I didn't get
the hand lever deal because I wanted to make it foot operated. So,
I bought a porta power to operate it. Eventually I want to get an air over
hydraulic pump but this will do for now.
Got it all built & did a test fit on the table. (Put a new PVC top on the table too so it doesn't scratch the aluminum like the other tables do.

Tore it all apart & sent it off to the paint shop for a deluxe black rattle can paint job.
All back together.

It's supposed to handle 1/8" aluminum. Not sure what ga. steel, I don't think I'll be using it for that.
Made a catch can so I wouldn't have little corners layin' all over the shop floor. (and gettin' them stuck in my shoe.....and taking them in the house........and.......
)
