Yup. They are called a "corner rounding cutter". Just type this into the J &L search box and it will come up with a whole selection of sizes.

ebay ...they are called radius cutters ...or radius mills.

you may have to buy an arbour for some of them.

and the tool has one inmch hole in it ..

as these are the most plenty full and common

Yes. Look for corner rounding end mills. Be in a chair, when you see prices.

The manufacturers of aluminium and upvc window frames use these to cut industry-standard extrusions for individual orders. You might be able to find a local manufacturer who'd run your pieces through his router for beer money, if it's a one-off.

Alternatively, these people go out of business frequently. Keep a look out for receivership auctions.

Hello Richard if you are only after a small radius on a reasonably short run on aluminium I would think that trying one of the wood routing cutters was worth a try, after all they are normally carbide faced and even for the cheaper priced of one of these it's worth an experiment. Cheers Colin

Thanks for the replies guys especially Bill and Colin I will give the wood router tools a go certainly worth it looking at the price of the "proper tools".

...yes....edge cutters. I use an 'ovalo' molding cutter along the edges of MS steel blocks for decorative purposes. --

Use a router.

Works a charm, on al.

Shoulda mentioned that in my first post.
