Steve,
If you have a lot of corners to round there is a small punch press that
was designed for cardboard and paper that my father used for years to
round .032 and .040 aluminum. As I recall it was called a "Corner
Rounder" He was rounding corners with about .1" radius, but it had
interchangeable cutters for larger radii.
I just did a search for "corner rounder" and the first hit was for a
Lasco corner rounder similar to what dad used. It was $147 for the whole
tool and replacement punch sets were just under $100. You should be able
to find something cheaper used.
Peace,
Pat
