| Chamfering/rounding edges |

| rleete:
Other than the fairly expensive chamfering or edge rounding mills (more than double what I paid for my whole set of 6 regular mills), is there an alternative? Granted, with the amount of use they'd get, they would probably last me nearly forever. But hobby funds are tight, and I need a less expensive way. Relatively long straight edges I can do on the mill with the proper setup. Heck, if I want to spend the time, I can use a file. How about on a radius? Can I cut a piece of drill rod and harden it to produce a decent edge? If so, can anyone post some pictures or C-o-C sketches for me? |

This may be wrong, but this what I do when I need a chamfered edge... I can't afford an expensive tool either. I use a center drill... carefully. I got mine for cheap! Hope it helps Eric |
