Buying Guide
What to consider when choosing a corner rounder:
- Corner sizes: Most tools offer 4mm, 7mm, and 10mm radiuses. Pick based on typical project sizes (business cards, photos, scrapbook pages).
- Materials: Look for sharp blades and sturdy housings (ABS, zinc alloy) for durability and clean cuts.
- Media compatibility: Ensure the tool handles cardstock, photos, laminates, and thin plastics as needed. Laminated sheets may require extra care.
- Ease of use: For beginners, a light, ergonomic handle and clear guides help reduce miscuts.
- Maintenance: Simple cleaning and occasional blade checks prevent jams and burrs.
