Cheap corner rounder

Recommended Posts

OK, I bought one of those $4 corner rounders for my magnetic signs. Didnd't look like much,but did the job up til now...

THis morning, I rounded the corners of 50 5"x5" magnets. 200 corners...in 7 minutes. And the cheapo little cutter made a nice clean cut every single time.

If I had done the 'shot glass' method with a blade, I would still be cutting those corners at dinner time.

So,if you have a need, I can certainly recommend the cheapo one. Worth the money for sure!

John... you care to explain what the "cheapo" version is, and where you purchased it from for the others that didn't see the other thread where this was explained?

Walmart in the scrapbook section.  I am sure that any scrapbook store would have them too. Actual price was $3.88 I think. Looks like this: (mine is green,however)

I think scrapbooking is not popular in PR. I couldnt find one and I checked

2 Wal-Mart Super Centers

2 Walgreens

1 Offica Max

1 Local Office and Art supply Store

Called

2 Local Art Supplies stores

None had one. This is crazy. i guess I will buy one off ebay.

Want me to buy a few from Walmart, and ship them to you Joe? Or would it just be cheaper for you to buy them off of ebay?

Thanks for the info! I may be doing a couple magnets for my hubs employees.

I am also a scrapbooker, so I can find many uses for this tiny thing.

Hey fm, Thanks a lot for offering the help. That would be cool. I asked for the shipping for one I saw on ebay, if the seller wants to rip me off with shipping, then I will let you know. I will send you the money through Paypal.

I appreciate it  ;D

ok im about to pull my hair out lol.. i have looked at 2 walmarts for this thing and i cannot find it at all.. i hate that both my walmarts have decided to downsize the arts/supplies sections.. i have also looked near the paper/pens sections numerous times.. they have a small scrapbook section.. its not there either.. i see a lot of different sissors but nothing that says "corner rounder" .. can anyone take a pic of this in the package? i want to get one i have some magnets to do in a few weeks.. i am looking on ebay but shipping is over priced for something less then $5

this might seem a little crazy, but an old signmaker in the sign supply here showed me how to take a round glass or old veggie can and round the corners on the mags. i thought he was joking but he said he had never purchased a corner rounder and has for 20+ years use this method. he did two in the sign supply store. so just so u know it works perfectly. banner u probably already now about this but i was so amazed at it. two other signmakers came in and said that's how they do it too. so of course i just had an order for 6 mags tried and  woohoo it worked. hope this helps somebody. if ur still leery, take a sheet of reg paper first and do it. u will be ticked pink.

yeah I used that method. But The time I did 50 magnets (200 corners) I was sure glad I had that $5 tool.
